  > For most people in Berlin, the BVG AB ticket of €86 per month is the way to go.

  This is factually incorrect. For most people in Germany, Deutschland-Ticket (https://int.bahn.de/en/offers/regional/deutschland-ticket) of €49 per month is the way to go.

  Deutschland-Ticket covers fares on all public transportation options in Germany, regardless of the city, plus on slower longer-distance trains (RB, RE, etc).

  I live in Berlin, and the rest of the costs mentioned in the article seem somewhat accurate.
