What kind of transit pass is valid in Berlin for students at the Berlin International College?
Transportation in Germany is generally costly. That’s Why students at German public universities prefer a semester ticket by paying a semester contribution/fee to the students union. The semester ticket allows them to travel free by any public transportation system in the city/state where the university is situated.
Berlin is one of the most expensive cities in Germany. And since students at Berlin international college have no access to the student ticket of a university, they should choose one of the options below.
