What if my train is delayed causing my ticket to expire?
Example:
I am at Kähnsdorf Dorf, Seddiner See. I want to go to Konigs Wusterhausen.
Bus (646 -> 643) 17:14 - 17:55 Kähnsdorf Dorf, Seddiner See to Potsdam Bhf.
IC 2431 18:00 - 19:01
Total time = 1 hour 47 minutes
On the IC, they accept VBB tickets. So, I want to buy an ABC ticket for 3.40. It is valid for 2 hours. The problem is if my second train is delayed, I may be fined for not having a ticket. Is this possible?
