Define Summer 2022
The €9 ticket was available for June, July and August 2022. Each ticket covered one calendar month; the offer ended on 31 August 2022.
Where could it be used?
Travellers could use the €9 ticket for all public transport in Berlin. That means the S-Bahn, U-Bahn, tram, bus and the Regional train. Travellers could use the S-Bahn and the Regional train to get out of the city and visit Potsdam or even the concentration camp memorial site, Sachsenhausen.
More than that though, travellers could use the €9 ticket all over Germany! S-Bahn in Munich? Yep. The boat in Hamburg? Sure!
The €9 ticket could not be used to travel on Germany’s high-speed Intercity trains (aka IC and ICE trains).
An ICE train. The €9 ticket offered in summer 2022 was not valid on ICE services.
How did the 2022 prices compare?
The original article compared the €9 monthly offer with a Berlin AB 24-hour ticket priced at €8.80. These were 2022 prices and must not be used to plan a trip today.
The temporary offer has ended. Check the current fare and validity conditions before buying a ticket.
Hang on, how do I use public transport in Berlin anyway?
