Mini Task: Public Transportation

Record the different types of public transportation (include type, line number, type of car/bus, etc.) we use throughout the day. Take pictures and prepare a brief comment.   


Transportation Method           To and From                    Line                               Comments

By Foot
Hotel to Spittelmarkt station.
N/A
We walked from the Courtyard Marriot hotel to the Spittelmarkt station. (There were multiple other occasions where we walked obviously)
U-Bahn
Spittelmarkt station to the Klosterstrasse Station.
U2
We road the U2 from spittelmarkt, the closest station to our hotel and one we have used daily to Klosterstrasse.
S-Bahn
Alexanderplatz station to the Springpfuhl station.
S7
This was the third time we have been to the Alexanderplatz station as a group and found the train to be particularly warm on this day.
Tram Car
Springpfuhl  station to the Helene-Weigel-Platz.
M8
This was a very short tram ride as we only rode for one station but found the tram to be quite roomy in comparison to the U-Bahn and S-Bahn.
S-Bahn
Springpfuhl station to Jannowitzbrüke station.
S7
Leaving marzahn we were yet again riding the S-Bahn on the S7 Line and found the train to be quite warm, and it required some running to make the train at Springpfuhl station.
Bus
Lichtenberger Str to Spittemarkt
248
After a roundabout walk to find the appropriate bus stop and realise Trey left his Transit pass behind, we rode the bus to the Spittelmarkt bus nearest our hotel which was pleasant due to being air conditioned.

I like the picture of your foot! They are getting 'abused' a bit these days... ;-)

Did you notice that, for the first time, we actually left the inner city are (Tarifbereich A) and were in the area outside the dog's head (Tarifbereich B, see sign at Helene-Weigel-Platz in Berlin Marzahn). Tarifbereich B started when we left Ostkreuz station (S7)

I did not realize at the time that we left the "Dog's Head" area but in hindsight it makes sense since we traveled quite a large distance to the east.
