Mini Task: Transportation

  We started our journey today using the nearby U2 line from Spittelmarkt to Klosster St. One thing I enjoy about traveling using the U-bahn is the individuality of each station. I lived in Ireland for a year and use their rail transport called the DART and all the stations were the same. The layout could differ, but they all had the same elements and colour scheme. I will say, however, that the one close to where I was living had a salt-water marsh biome. 

 

 

 

 

 

 
For our second method of transport we took the S7 line from Alexanderplatz to Springfuhl. It was interesting seeing the change of scenery from the compacted city centre to the more open and green Helene-Wiegel-Platz.

 

 

We then proceed to take the M8 tram from Springfuhl to Helene-Weigel-Platz. This was the first time taking the tram as a class.




















To head back to the hotel, we returned to Springfuhl to take the S7 to Jannowitzbrucke. The Springfuhl station was extremely close to the Helene-Weigel-Platz housing which, in my opinion seems like a decent place to live.

For the final leg of today’s travel we took the 248 bus from the Lichtenberger Str. stop to the Spittelmarkt stop by the hotel. The bus ride was nice as it was also air condition, but also gave a sense of driving on Berlin streets. It was interesting to see that a big city like Berlin did not have a lot of bumper to bumper traffic. In fact from time to time you can hear the sound of a fancy car accelerating a little more than necessary.
