Berlin U-bahn
See an earlier post on Berlin U-bahn station lettering. Now, to the rest of the U-bahn.
Typical station entrance:

There is also a tram stop to the left and a train station above the road.
Stadtmitte station has its own entrance sign design:

No turnstiles, as usual in Germany. To the left of the ticket machine (white and yellow), there is a small validator (yellow and white):

At the centre of a platform there is usually an element with the station name and exit guide:

A similarly design element, but wall-mounted:

All trains have an external speaker (above a window) so that the announcement are heard from the platform. The windows are filled with the pattern of Brandenburg Gate.

Apparently, this reduces the production cost. But this format also makes the shown lines more “related” in the eyes of a passenger, even though transfers to other lines are no worse.
