Practical tips
Berlin has several places where buses can leave from. Before you head out, check the exact stop named on your e-ticket and look it up on a map, so you never end up at the wrong station.

Get to the stop a little ahead of departure so you can find the right bay without rushing. Save your e-ticket as a screenshot or PDF in case mobile data is weak.
