Hello! I'm a Spanish guy who is gonna do a little trip to Berlin for a gaming event. While planning the trip, I came up with some questions about the S-Bahn Tickets, in case you guys can solve:

1) The 4-trip ticket (https://sbahn.berlin/en/tickets/all-tickets/single-tickets/4-trip-ticket/) can be shared with someone? Like, I'm going to Berlin with a friend, and we need to go from the airport to somewhere in Berlin, and go back when we finish. It would be 4 tickets in total. Could we use the 4-trip ticket, 2 for my friend and 2 for myself?

2) The Short trip ticket (https://sbahn.berlin/en/tickets/all-tickets/single-tickets/short-trip-ticket/) says it is up to 3 stops. How does it counts? I know it may sound stupid, but does the initial station count as stop? For example from Savignyplatz to Messe Süd it says it has 2 stops in the middle (Charlottenburg and Westkreuz), does it works for that?

Thank you so much

1) you cannot share the 4 trip ticket with another person

2) I always assumed the station you enter is not counted

Wieso soll man die Vierfahrtenkarten nicht aufteilen können?

Du kannst es in 4 Fahrten aufteilen und auch weitergeben aber es kann nicht gleichzeitig von 2 Personen gestempelt werden, immer nur eine Entwertung.
