Added general info on public transport
'''Berlin''' is the capital of [[Germany]].
== Public transport ==
Despite its size and unless going from one edge of an outer suburb to one on the opposite side of the city, going from one point to another within Berlin seldom takes more than one hour. Use [https://www.vbb.de/en VBB.de] to find out how to get from one location to another within Berlin and also the surrounding state of [[Brandenburg]]. Berlin operates on a fairly simple tariff zone system: Zone A is anywhere within the suburban train ring (''Ringbahn'' / S-Bahn lines S41 and S42), zone B from the ring to the administrative borders of the city, and zone C is a defined area of Brandenburg in proximity to the city (usually confined by the terminal stops of the S-Bahn).
As of 2023, the current prices for a single adult, one-way ticket are: €3.00 (tariff zones AB), €3.50 (tariff zones BC) and €3.80 (tariff zones ABC). There is a plethora of concession, daily, group and other discounted tickets too, check the VBB or BVG website for more information.
