Default Local/Express bus routes

There was of course one exception - though I don't know if it still
exists. The Blankeneser Bergzeiger (sp?) minibuses were considered

"Blankeneser Bergziege" (Blankenese mountain goat), yes, they still run
as a "Schnellbus".
Schnellbusse, presumably because they'd be uneconomic to operate
otherwise, and the affluent inhabitants of Blankenese could probably
afford them. Is this still the case?
