Tickets & Fares

We take you to your destination safely and reliably - even if it's only a short distance.

If you do not want to travel any further than three urban rail or underground stations or no more than six bus or tram stops, then it pays for you to purchase a Short Trip Ticket. On ExpressBus lines the stops which the bus passes without stopping are also included.

With the short trip fare, you can also use the ferries, the only exception is the F10 (Wannsee-Kladow).

• For trips within the Berlin city area (Berlin AB)
