From BER Airport
Simplest connection: S-Bahn S9, around 50 minutes, every 20 minutes. No changes. Ticket "Berlin ABC", currently about €4.40 one way.
Alternative: FEX Airport Express to Hauptbahnhof, then change to the S-Bahn – faster overall (around 40 minutes), but with a change.
Taxi about €60. For two to four people with luggage sometimes the more sensible choice.
From Hauptbahnhof
S5, S7 or S9 – seven minutes, running every few minutes.
