Hello!
Today I’m riding the train home from work, writing an article to you about trains! If you ever visit Berlin, there’s no need to bring a car: there are buses, trams, and bikes all over the place. Of course, walking is also very popular, but I prefer the train system for longer distances, because it’s so quick and easy. You'd be astounded to see how many trains there are in this city, you can get wherever you'd like to go, even through the night!
In Germany, there is a ticket called the D-Ticket. This is a subscription service that grants you unlimited access to all local trains, buses, and trams. This system is revolutionary even on the global scale, and you can feel when you enter Germany that there is a strong reliance on the public transportation system here. Most of my coworkers don't own a car, they use a mix of train and bike travel to commute to work.
Berlin has two train systems, the U-Bahn (Underground train system) and the S-Bahn (above-ground train system). The U-Bahn is what I mostly use to get around the city, because it’s really well-connected and it’s also quick to get on and off. On the other hand, I use the S-Bahn when I go to work, because these trains go farther than the U-Bahn and even connect outside the city.
