Berlin Phone Ticket Picker
Tell it your plan for the day and it shows the exact Berlin transport ticket to buy in the app, the 2026 price, the fare zone, the German ticket name, and whether you need to validate it.
A free picker that turns your plan for the day into the exact Berlin ticket to tap in the BVG app.
Choose what you are doing today, from a couple of rides to a full day of sightseeing, an airport trip or several days of travel, and it shows the right ticket, the 2026 price, the fare zone, the German name to look for, and whether you need to validate it.
What this tool does
The BVG app sells every Berlin ticket, but it rarely picks the cheapest right one for you. This tool takes your plan for the day and names the exact ticket to tap, with the 2026 price, the AB or ABC zone, and the German name the app still shows.
Best use
Use it at the machine or before you open the app. It separates the single ticket, the short-trip Kurzstrecke, the 24-hour ticket, the small-group day ticket, the ABC airport ticket and the Deutschlandticket, so you stop guessing which one covers your trip.
Local guide note
A phone ticket is valid the moment you buy it, so there is no yellow box to stamp, but a screenshot is not valid, keep the live ticket open for the inspector. The airport and Potsdam need ABC, not the AB ticket most of Berlin uses.
