Expensive tickets, hoping to get our use out of a 2 day pass, as Berlin is a big city and interest points are far apart. First day, waited at a stop as per their maps for 30 minutes before we decided to walk to the next one and try again. Finally saw a bus for the first time, sat down and the upholstery was absolutely drenched, leaving us to get off again and go back to the hotel to change. Continued worsening experience with buses A) not stopping at the locations on the maps (which tourists rely heavily on), B) buses not stopping at all when there are people waiting, C) having no signage where bus stops are or whether they change.
Every time we were left waiting for at least 30 minutes before a bus arrived, only to have it stop for a “15 minute break”. 45 minutes in total before we actually get anywhere! Absolute waste of money, we are so disappointed and feel we have been robbed. Spent more time waiting for buses and for them to depart than we actually spent travelling on the bus. Would be quicker to hire a lime scooter and explore the city that way.
