The guide to the cost of living in Berlin
- muditmudit 3y ago> For most people in Berlin, the BVG AB ticket of €86 per month is the way to go. This is factually incorrect. For most people in Germany, Deutschland-Ticket (https://int.bahn.de/en/offers/regional/deutschland-ticket https://int.bahn.de/en/offers/regional/deutschland-ticket) of €49 per month is the way to go. Deutschland-Ticket covers fares on all public transportation options in Germany, regardless of the city, plus on slower longer-distance trains (RB, RE, etc). I live in Berlin, and the rest of the costs mentioned in the article seem somewhat accurate.
- annabyrd 3y agoActually, living in Berlin feels like double the costs listed in that article... somehow
- yorwba 3y agoThe costs listed in the article seem to be the result of random sampling without any price-consciousness, i.e. you can easily end up spending that much or more, but you don't have to. I spend much less, but I always compare prices (especially for food, I check the unit price per kg or liter) and take the cheapest option within a given category.
