Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER) S-Bahn Shutdown: Alternative Transport Options

Airport S-Bahn service closure at BER for two months starting in September

Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER) passengers should be prepared for a two-month shutdown of the S-Bahn access starting in mid-September due to necessary repairs and construction work. Here's what you need to know about alternative transport options during the disruption:

Alternative Transport Options in Berlin

1. Regional Trains and Airport Express (FEX): While the S-Bahn is usually the go-to for getting to and from BER, you can use regional trains or the Airport Express (FEX) for journeys to Berlin Central Station. The Airport Express runs every 30 minutes and is a quick option for reaching the city center [2].
2. Bus Services: BER has bus services like Bus 142 and Bus 147, which can connect you to the city center. These buses are an alternative to the S-Bahn for reaching central areas like Invalidenpark [2].
3. Tram Services: Tram lines M5, M8, and M10 are available from close to the airport. You can take these trams after a short walk from your bus stop near the airport [2].
4. Taxis and Ride-hailing Services: Available for direct travel to specific locations but more expensive than public transport options.
5. Car Rental or Private Transfers: If you prefer a more direct or private mode of transportation, car rental or booking a private transfer service might be an option.

To stay updated on specific S-Bahn disruptions or alternative transportation options during the shutdown at BER Airport, it's advisable to check the official S-Bahn Berlin website or contact local transportation authorities for the most current information [1][4].
