What this tool helps you decide
The Berlin Zone Ticket Decoder helps tourists decide whether AB is enough or ABC is needed before buying a public transport ticket.
Best use
Use it before airport travel, a Potsdam day trip, a Sachsenhausen memorial visit, or any day when you are not sure whether your route leaves normal city zones.
Local guide note
If your plan stays in central Berlin, AB usually works. The moment BER Airport, Potsdam or Oranienburg appears, check ABC before paying.
