Always the right ticket …
Just step on board. Public transport in Berlin is quite easy to use.
There are only three fare zones: the S-Bahn ring serves at the
border of Zone A, the city centre, which is also the environmental
zone; Zone B ends at the city limits. Zone C stretches out 10-15 km
beyond the city limits into Berlin’s surroundings, with their many
woodlands, lakes and rivers.
… available everywhere
You can select the type of ticket that best suits your needs: Berlin AB tickets, BC tickets or ABC tickets. Adults must pay the regular fare; children from 6 to 14 are eligible for the reduced fair. Children under 6 do not need tickets. Tickets can be purchased conveniently at one of the many sales points (see map4e) or at the ticket machines that can be found at all stations, transfer points, and inside the trams. Many hotels also have tickets available for their guests.
Please do not forget to validate your ticket before starting your journey. Ticket validation machines are located on all platforms at the S-Bahn and U-Bahn stations and in the case of trams and buses inside the vehicles themselves. It is not necessary to validate tickets that are purchased directly from the driver in buses. Please board buses through the forward door; pre-purchased tickets must be displayed to the driver upon entry.
