Fahrkarte mit Bargeld in der Straßenbahn kaufen?

honestly the rbb was being dramatic, there's still cash machines in the trams. but ur parents should know the machines are old and slow, sometimes they just reject a note for no reason. better to have coins ready, a single ticket is 3.50 and the machine won't give change if they overpay. or they could just go to any u-bahn station and buy a ticket from the orange machine there, those take bills and give change no problem

Die Automaten in den Straßenbahnen nehmen noch Bargeld, aber die geben kein Wechselgeld zurück. Wenn deine Eltern also einen 20-Euro-Schein reinstecken, bekommen sie den Rest nicht wieder. Am besten geben sie ihnen ein paar Münzen mit, Einzelfahrscheine kosten 3,50 Euro und Kurzstrecken 2,20 Euro. Falls sie öfter fahren müssen, lohnt sich vielleicht die 7-Tage-Karte für 37 Euro, die kriegt man an jedem U-Bahn-Automaten mit Münzen oder Scheinen.

Forget it. Berlin's BVG is practically allergic to cash these days. Get an app.

Worth noting that Berlin street names have official umlaut and ß rules that trip people up, so a sign showing "Strasse" versus "Straße" is not actually a spelling error, just an older transcription. Same with "ue" versus "ü" (e.g. "Kantstrasse" vs "Kantstraße"), both are considered valid renderings and you'll see the ß version on the blue Schilder and the ss version on older plaques or in databases that predate Unicode. If the difference you're seeing is between those two forms, there's nothing to fix and both are technically correct.

if the signs u mean are the old enamel ones on the house facades those are often protected as Baudenkmal so nobody's allowed to correct them even if the spelling is outdated. the binding version is whatever is in the Berliner Strassenverzeichnis plus the entry in the Liegenschaftskataster, so if u tell me the street i can point u to the right Bezirksamt Mitte or Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf page. tbh the merged district thing is real but the facade signs are a separate story, theyre basically museum pieces at this point

honestly thats super common in Charlottenburg, the district offices were merged from older Bezirke and nobody ever fixed all the Schilder. if its a real street you can check the official strassenverzeichnis on berlin.de, that list is what the Burgeramt actually goes by. which street is it? some of the Kaiserdamm / Kantstrasse signs are notorious for this.
