Berlin Airport (BER) to Berlin City Center on the Aiport Express Train 

Yes it does. The Berlin ABC ticket you can get from the ticket machines allows you to use any kind of public transit in Berlin. Regional rail, S-Bahn, U-Bahn, Tram, Bus, Ferry...you're free to change between lines freely as many times as you need. Little side note: If there's one departing shortly, you can also take the Intercity to Rostock Hbf/Warnemünde. They're free to use with regional tickets until Berlin Hauptbahnhof. Might save a few minutes and is a bit more comfortable.

@@BruscoTheBoar thank you for your reply, it gave me confidence to take the train from BER to my hotel, much appreciated!

Yes it does !

The entire airport is a disgrace. Terminal 1 may be fine and all, but once you go into details and look at Terminal 2, you wonder where all the money went. Terminal 2 looks like a 3rd world airport. I heard baggage claim is also quite problematic, though I didn’t experience that myself. You‘re also absolutely right with the elevators, imagine having to pull up a 23 kilograms suitcase up these stairs if you don’t wanna wait 20 minutes for a space in the lift - and that with a S-Bahn train. Imagine a full packed regional train arriving, many people getting off for the airport 😬

I am so happy to hear that, I hope you have a great visit to Berlin! 😃

Hmm, yes that would be the S-Bahn. Not the same as featured in this video, but what you just described would probably work too :)

@@goingplacesyt your vid made the journey so much easier and the confidence to use the ubahn whilst in Berlin the advice re ticket validation was so important Thank you.

I am so happy you found it useful , thank you so much for watching! 😃

Interesting question! It seems that the shown ticket machines don’t accept cash (There are no facilities to insert coins or notes). But I think that the ticket machines vis-à-vis will do (just beside the escalator). You can get a quick lock at 3:18. This machine seems to be is a different version, that should also accept cash/Euros.

As Peter commented, I think this is correct, I seem to rember there were machines that took cash as well 😀

You can pay with cash. I did this in October 2023

Yes 🙂

Hmm I believe the best way is to take the FEX as in the video, and get off at Berlin Ostkreuz. Then change to the S-Bahn line 7 towards Potsdam Hbf. Please someone correct me if I am mistaken 🙂

@@goingplacesyt Thanks for the response! I was under the impression that there were trains going directly there? RB23 or something? I also think I can take S9 directly there without changing?

@@elevat1on You can take the RE8 trains towards Wismar or Wittenberge or the RB23 towards Golm (or Berlin Charlottenburg on weekday evenings or weekends), they each depart every hour but are scheduled so that there is roughly a 30-minute interval towards Zoologischer Garten. You can also take the S-Bahn commuter rail line S9 that stops at Zoologischer Garten, and while it departs slightly more frequently than the RE/RB trains (every 20 minutes) it takes longer (about an hour compared to 45 minutes on the RE/RB). Please keep in mind that this all is only valid until Dec. 2025 when there will be a big shuffle with train connections to and from BER airport due to the opening of the Berlin-Dresden mainline.

@@KaterChris Thank you very much! So if I want to go directly from the airport to Zoologischer Garten, I should choose between RE8, RB23 or S-Bahn S9? Which one is best if we have big suitcases? Im going next Tuesday :)

Merhaba gittiniz mi acaba. Bizimde haziranda berlin seyahatinde var. Bilgilerinizden yararlanmak isterim

@@senelbakar3203 gittik 3 gün boyunca güzel bir gezi oldu Berlin WelcomeCard aldık 72 saat boyunca tüm tramvay metro banliyo otobüs tüm ulaşım araçlarına berlin ve çevresine (ABC bölgelerine ayrılmış) havalimanı dahil kişi başı 41 euro ya havalimanından iner inmez satıl noktalarından yada bilet otomatlarından alabilirsin.

S-Bahn Berlin doesn't even bother removing graffiti on their trains anymore. They just cover it with paint now. Basically destroying a graffiti with graffiti. Uno-Reverse-card.
