=== Public transport ===
Bern is served by a dense network of trains, [[Trams in Bern|trams]], [[Trolleybuses in Bern|trolleybuses]], and conventional motorbuses. The [[Bern S-Bahn]] is Switzerland's second busiest.

Bern is the centre of the [[Libero-Tarifverbund|Libero tariff network]], which covers the cantons of Bern and [[Canton of Solothurn|Solothurn]] and includes the towns of [[Biel/Bienne]], [[Solothurn]], and [[Thun]]. The network allows easy and coordinated travel on all modes of public transport, such as trains, [[PostBus Switzerland|PostAuto buses]], [[Trams in Bern|trams]], buses ([[Trolleybuses in Bern|trolleybuses]] and motorbuses) and others, regardless of transport operator. Fares are based on the number of zones in a journey. The central part of Bern, (excluding ''[[Bümpliz]]'', ''Betlehem'', ''Bottigen'', ''Brünnen'', and ''Riedbach'' in the west of the municipality), is part of the fare zone ''100''.
