07:43 Berlin ABC 7 day Pass. You can use it on all trains, trams, and buses. You can visit Potsdam and Oranienburg. The cost of the pass is (approximately) less than one taxi ride from Berlin Brandenburg Airport to Potsdamer Platz. Few things to take note of: Berlin’s public transportation runs on honor system. The government expects you to buy the passes, and validate your passes before use. They have plain clothes people in unexpected places and they would sometimes check if you have your transport passes. If you don’t have one. You’d be fined. Also, the pass expires at midnight regardless of what time you validated/started using it. It's so easy to use. They have validating machines all over and just make sure to validate your pass before riding. And just hop in and out of their cool public transportation.
08:41 Taxi Driver Interrogation. Extract info from the taxi driver. They know everything.
Tempelhof Airport is hitler airport?
