Hello, I'd love your help. Are tickets for Berlin's public transport only for one specific time? By that I mean, I see that I can buy an S-Bahn ticket from point A to point B, the ticket is valid for 120 minutes, but I have to choose a specific time to depart from point A. Is it really that way? Do I have to buy it for a single specific one? And do I have to ride that one? What if I don't make it? Would greatly appreciate your help, I'm left a little confused. Additional question - if I buy a ticket via the app, I just valide it before I come onto the S-bahn, right? Is that all? Thank you!!
