How to get to ESREA 2013: Public transport
Berlin public transport is divided into three zones – A, B, C. Zone A contains the main city districts, Zone B contains those areas that lie just outside the main city districts, and Zone C contains areas located on the outskirts of the city. There are two types of trains in service: the U-Bahn, which runs mainly underground, and the S-Bahn, which runs overground. There are also tram (MetroTram/Straßenbahn) and (metro) bus networks.
Depending on your needs, you can buy a single ticket, a day ticket (“Tageskarte”) AB or ABC or a BerlinWelcomeCard. Please be aware that a day ticket is valid from the time you validate the ticket up until 3am the following day, not for 24 hours. BerlinWelcomeCards are available for either 48 hours (presently 18,50 €) or 72 hours (presently 24,50 €). All tickets are valid on trains of the U-Bahn, S-Bahn, on trams (MetroTram/Straßenbahn), and (Metro) buses.
Please note that before boarding a train you must validate your ticket. If you do not do so you may be fined. To validate your ticket, please insert it into the validation machines located on the platform. For more detailed information on the areas included in the three zones and the tickets available, please see the website of the BVG: http://www.bvg.de/index.php/en/index.html (the Berlin public transport operator). This page also offers a Journey Planner which will inform you on the duration of a trip from one address to another.
If you are travelling into the city from Tegel airport (via airport bus TXL) you should buy a 'Berlin AB' ticket. If you are travelling from Schönefeld airport (SXF) you should purchase a 'Berlin ABC' ticket. More information on transport between airports and the city will be detailed later on.
