DB Navigator does not sell discounted VVB tickets?
Byfabsgsg
Hello, I want to travel from Ruhland to Falkenberg (Elster) tomorrow (single fare, one-way only), but unfortunately, when I buy a ticket in the DB Navigator app, it only shows the standard fare of €7.40, not the €5.30 price for a reduced ticket listed on the website. Do I have to get off in Falkenberg…
Change at Frankfurt HB?

Good morning! I'm traveling from Würzburg to Basel at the end of December and have to change trains in Frankfurt. Since this is my first long train journey, I unfortunately realized today (I booked it yesterday and booked incorrectly) that I only have 24 minutes to change trains (I was supposed to take 49 minutes)….

Hello folks, I currently have a Germany ticket, and it's only on my phone. However, I'd also like to have it as a card, because my phone's battery can always run out (it's happened to me a few times), or my phone can break, leaving me without a ticket. Do you know how I can…
Question about train?
Why when you're on a train and you jump, you don't get thrown backwards. But if you're on the train then… That doesn't make any sense
Berlin has both. This is an S-Bahn, it travels on railway tracks with a side rail (otherwise there are also S-Bahns with upper line):
This is a U-way, also with side-current rail and also not always underground:
This is a tramway that runs with a top line on the road:
So the tram tracks are mostly laid on the road and not separated from it as on the S and subway.
Very meaningful information
Because there are two completely different means of transport.
There are also trams in Berlin
And in Leipzig, next to the tram, there is also an S-Bahn
Berlin has an S-Bahn. It is operated by Deutsche Bahn. Berlin also has a tramway operated by BVG. They call them tram. Just like in Munich.
Therefore, I would say in cities where there is an S-Bahn line from the DB, but also a communal tram, the tram is not called the S-Bahn.
It’s even more confusing in Hamburg. There’s the subway called Hochbahn. Crazy.
S-Bahn trains, which are at the same time trams, are located in Karlsruhe, since longer trams which pass on railway lines are called S-Bahn.
This is similar to us in Saarbrücken. Then the S-Bahn or tram is called Saar-Bahn. It’s complex.
Yes, very crazy
Tram in the city
S-Bahn regional train.
So an S-Bahn is a train (snellway) for me and a tram a tram.
Railway = S Railway
You can’t say that flat. In Stuttgart, for example, there is the city railway (signed with subway) and the S-Bahn. These are different means of transport on different routes.

This is about Berlin:)
As it is called in Berlin is completely irrelevant. The fact is that by definition there are two different means of transport, as you can see well on the map I posted.
The term “S-Bahn” was created when the Berlin city, ring and suburban railways were combined in December 1930 under a common “brand” and the well-known logo. Again I live here and know how to call something in Berlin.
In Berlin, the “Stadtbahn” is the railway line between Charlottenburg and Ostbahnhof.
On this route also – but not only – S-Bahnen.

I live in this city, I believe I know what is called ^^
Also in Berlin the statement Stadtbahn = S-Bahn is wrong. These are different means of transport.
