Mini Task- Transportation

Throughout the day on May 12, we took a variety of public transportation methods to reach our destinations. These networks of railway and bus lines or easily recognized throughout the city. Through the course of the day we took the public transportation listed in the table below. Method Type                     Line                                  Origin                        Destination
U-bahn                 U2 (Pankow)                    Spittelmarkt              Kosterstraβe
S-bahn                  S7( Ahrensfelde)              Alexanderplatz          Springfuhl
Tram                    M8 (Ahrensfelde)             Springfuhl                  Helen-Weigel-Platz
S-bahn                 S7( Postdam Hbf)             Springfuhl                  Jannowitzbrucke
City Bus              248( U Brietenbackplatz)  Lichtenberger Str.     Spittelmarkt via S-bhf Sudreuz)
                         
Throughout the day I found that the use of the train system is very effective, as we were able to cross a large portion of the city in around 20 minutes. For the sake of taking all types of public transport the tram was taken from one stop to the one directly after it, and a bus was taken from very near Alexanderplatz that carried us directly to our final destination of the day, Spittelmarkt. While not overly effective, this covered all of the public transport bases. The S-bahn could have been taken all the way to Alexanderplatz, where the U-bahn U2 line runs directly to Spittelmarkt
