ok, now i'm just terrified of buying bus/train tickets in Germany

Before you buy a ticket in Germany you need to make an ( ausbildung ) first 😉🤣🤣🤣

Since this video was made, the "day ticket" has changed to a 24 hour ticket, so instead of being valid for just one calendar date, it is valid for a full 24 hours

2 Tickets for a ride from Pankow to Alexanderplatz and back, even though a ticket count for 2 hours: Welcome to the difficult and 'bureaucratic' Germany.

is "Schwarz fahren" an idiom for not travelling with a ticket?

I had a culture shock when I first came to Berlin. I used to the transportation system in the NRW and in my first day in Berlin I wanted to use the tram. I looked around and there was no ticket machine! I asked how to buy tickets someone told from inside. Well no one told me that it's only accepting coins. And yes even before I discover such a fact trying to figure out how to buy, two controllers came and fine me 60€. I was frustrated because such information has to be very known to people, it felt like a trap! ... well I insisted after paying the fine to see where it's written that the machine is accepting only coins? and guess what? it's there in the very fine grey font 😁 . I hated Berlin at first but after a while I came to understand the charm of the city knowing that even such a trap is a part of what makes Berlin unique 😁

Ich war einmal in Japan. Bus ticket geht total anders als in China. Es gibt einen Automat in den Bus. Du kannst ticket am automat kaufen. Aber, i weiss nicht wie viel soll ich bezahlen.

When I was in Germany I didn’t know about the stamping part until several weeks later, luckily I never got checked, and for some reason I had saved all of my past tickets and so then I had “new” ones I could technically use 😅. You may call me a cheater but at the same time I had no idea that the same ticket could be used for two hours and I always bought a couple before the two hours were done, so I’ll call that getting even the system 😜.

Another reason to appreciate my beautiful Chicago. =)

Vielen Dank 🙏🥰

I like the idea of "how to..."

Das ist genau das, was ich brauchte, danke schön für dieses Video!

The production quality keeps going up and up. Excellent work! :) Greetings from Switzerland!

Thank you Cari. I started watching your videos and subscribed to the seedling. After 2 months, I do not need to read the subtitles! I understand 70% of what you are talking about! Thank you for your help and your wonderful videos and the app.

This video is just so helpful! Thanks a lot for such awesome videos. Also could you please make a video on 'how can one improve ones Akzent and sound more German? ' because whenever I speak German I sound more English! More power to you! Love from India!

Thanks for your channel. When my son and I visited Berlin last year, we purchased Visit Berlin package with multi day travel. That worked really well for us. Cheers from Australia.
