1st Mode of Transportation
- U-Bahn
- U2
- Spittelmarkt - Klostersterasse
- This is a newer train. We've been on this one numerous times since we've arrived in Berlin. We're becoming very familiar with it.
2nd Mode of Transportation
- S-Bahn
- S7
- Alexanderplatz - Springpfuhl
- This is an older train; it did not have air conditioning and was very warm as the windows did not open in the area where I was sitting. When we got to the platform at around 1:30, it wasn't as busy as we have seen at other times in the day. This is surprising since it always seemed so busy.
3rd Mode of Transportation
- Tram
- M8
- Springpfuhl - Helene-Weigel-Platz
- This tram seemed very well used, as it was quite full. We may had just missed the previous tram, but we waited for what seemed like a long time at the platform for it to arrive. Stations seemed close together, and it was agonizing to see it stop just a few blocks away.
4th Mode of Transportation
- S-Bahn
- S7
- Springpfuhl - Jannowitzbrüke
- To get to the platform, we walked down a long empty hallway. There was no art, performers, ads or kiosks along the way, which is unlike most of the other stations we've encountered. Once we got to the platform, we almost missed the train. It was just like the previous train on the way there.
5th Mode of Transportation
- City Bus
- #248
- Lichtenberge Str. - Spittelmarkt
- This mode of transport was not easily accessible; Had to walk quite a distance from the S-Bahn station to reach it. This was also the most confusing since there was a stop near the station, but only for the night line. Newer bus; Air conditioned.

I agree with your comment on the tram. Generally, I think the transit system here is pretty efficient and we have made efficient use of it, but not so much with the tram. Walking would have been faster. But I suppose it was an experience.
