Transportation in Berlin


Type Line Comment(s) Trip
U-Bahn U2 We've visited this station numerous times throughout the previous days and grown accustomed to it.  When the train arrived, it was exactly as expected from previous days -- not too busy, clean and cool. Spittemarkt - Klosterstrasse
S-Bahn S7 We had been in Alexanderplatz station once previously, but did not take this particular route.  The train was older, it was incredibly hot, and the windows in our train were stuck closed. Alexanderplatz - Springpfuhl
Tram M8 We took this for the sole purpose of having taken a tram for this exercise.  In the time it took for the train to arrive, we could have walked to the next station (where we got off).  It seemed like the tram was really busy at the time that we took it. Springpfuhl - Helene-Weigel-Platz
S-Bahn S7 We almost missed this train, which would have been terrible since the S-Bahn trains have more time between them and it was a very hot afternoon.  The station, unlike some others we had seen, was rather bland and the walkway to it was barren and lifeless, although clean. Springpfuhl - Jannowitzbrüke
Bus #248 Once we got off the S-Bahn from the previous station, we walked outside only to find that the closest bus stop was down the block and across the street.  We were confused since there was a stop nearby, but as it turns out it was only used by the bus at night. Lichtenberger Str. - Spittemarkt

I apperciate how you conveyed the conditions of the transportation as well as the surrounds of the station. It adds to pictures of the transportation and gives a better sense of what these forms of transportation are like to travel on.
