The S-Bahn system has many lines across many stations, and is probably the least accessible in terms of wheelchairs on the network, mainly down to the high step to get on and off the train in most cases, and the fact most of the stations don't seem to have lift or ramp access. The average speed is just short of 40 kmph, which is around 24 miles per hour, which isn't exactly high speed especially when compared to the UK, where we are used to driving 30 miles per hour on normal roads, so this shows this public transportation system is only meant for shorter distance travel such as within Berlin, so could be quite frustrating having to go to a further distanation such as Berlin-Schonefield Airport. The layout of the stations make it more inconvenient than using other public transportation systems such as buses and the U-Bahn which was the main reason I avoided the S-Bahn system, other than when first arriving in Berlin, in favour of the other two modes of transportation, hence the reason I sadly feel the Berlin S-Bahn deserves a single one star rating.

The U-Bahn (underground) operates mostly below ground and the S-Bahn or Stadtbahn (city train) is the local rail which runs primarily above ground. The only downside to the public transportation system is that there wasn't any AC. I felt like I was in a sauna at times.

TAKE THIS TOUR. This…read morebus tour has got to be one of the best I've ever taken. Other Yelpers have detailed the itinerary below, so I don't need to. Get a cold beer before entering the bus and sit back and listen to the bilingual presentation. One interesting fact not noted by the tour guide was that wherever the Wall previously stood, and a street has been paved over the spot, a line of red bricks have been set into the pavement to permanently indicate where it stood. This bus tour is the absolute best way to orient yourself to the many wonders that Berlin offers.

Start at the Alexanderplatz and go to the Zoo (which is worth visiting too, though it's another story). With the 2.10 Euro ticket you trip can last up to 2 hours which means that you can get out at any stop and proceed your journey with the next bus. And for 6.30 Euro you can travel Bus, S-Bahn and U-Bahn in the zones A and B the whole daylong. Anyway if you start at Alexanderplatz, you will drive past the TV tower, Lustgarten & Museumsinsel / Museums island, Berliner Dom, Humboldt-University, and State Opera (from which it's just a 5 Minute walk to one of the most beautiful Berliner squares Gendarmenmarkt). You will see almost the whole Unter den Linden street. The bus will stop right in front of the Reichstag, from which you can walk to the Brandenburger Tor, Pariser Platz and the Memorial For the Murdered Jews of Europe. From the bus you will catch the sight of the Bundeskanzleramt, Haus der Kulturen der Welt/ House of the Cultures of the World, Schloss Bellevue, Siegessäule/ Victory Column, and Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gedächtniskirche/ Memory Church. Mind that most times of the day the bus is as full with people as a cucumber with seeds. No wonder as for many tourists it is the best way to explore Berlin. Take the S-Bahn to get back to the Alexanderplatz and to enjoy a couple of nice views of Berlin or may be to get out at the Hackescher Markt for a relaxing beer in one of the hundrends of street cafes. Yes, afther the 100 Bus journey you definitely deserve a beer!

It is on the U1 line only, so chances are to get where you want to go, you may have to get on another tube perhaps at a station, which is on more lines. I have to start by saying the configuration of this station, only being on one line (U1) when many other stations are at least on two is disappointing. Overall as a Station, Schlesisches Tor seemed to be highly old fashioned, and even dirty and unkept with lots of homeless people hanging around the station and a high amount of graffiti, so overall it wasn't very pleasant at all. It is located fairly close to the Berlin Wall East Side Gallery so the location overall is okay if you want to see the real Berlin wall, as I recall there is around 1.6km of it still standing. The station didn't appear to have lift access, and if it did, the lift certainly was well-hidden as it does state lift access on the map, despite there being no signs for this etc. Overall, Schlesisches Tor is a poor metro station in most regards, probably one of the worst on the networks I've visited mainly down to the routes this station is located on, overall feel and cleanliness and accessibility, hence sadly warranting a single one-star rating.
