I must confess that I've used the train system in Berlin many, many times and never paid because I didn't realize (at first) and later forgot.. Have things changed so that you need to go through a turnstile or similar ticket entry system, or is this just for the RE trains?
- MandieD 4y agoCan’t speak to Berlin within the past 3 years, but I’ve never seen any sort of gate/turnstile entry to German train or subway. There are little punch machines in the stations most places, or just use that city’s transit app - Nuremberg’s is well-integrated with Apple Pay. Enforcement is anywhere from routine and uniformed (IC/ICE), semi-routine (RE/RB/S-Bahns), to random and plainclothes (most subway systems).
- distances 4y agoThere's no gate or turnstile to any kind of rail transport, local or long distance. I wonder how long you managed to travel without a ticket in Berlin though as ticket inspectors are very common.
- yladiz 4y agoFrom my experience, maybe one in ten or twenty trips gets checked, but it does depend on the time of day and which line you take.
