The best ways to get around Berlin if you’re moving here.
Check out www.bvg.de, which is the public transport site. It has an indispensible journey planner that everyone uses when getting from A to B.
-Get a transit pass for the beautiful network of S-bahn and U-bahn subways (€81: with this Umwelt card another person can travel for free with you after 8pm and on weekends). A yearly Abonnement will save you more money (from €60,67 /month).
You can also buy a pass for your bike. If you will only travel after 10am, then you can get a cheaper pass.
-Train fares are on www.bahn.de
-Bicycle: the city gets around on bike, especially in Kreuzberg. You can get a used one here for about €100 at a market (try the fleamarket at Boxhagenerplatz on Sundays), or a new one for 300-up Euros. A good place to buy a new one is: http://www.radlust.com/
