"Deutsche Bahn has decided to introduce an indefinite ban on drinking at the S-Bahn stations Zoologischer Garten and Ostbahnhof, a move first reported by Berliner Zeitung. The state-owned rail company says the aim is to improve cleanliness and security in places many passengers currently experience as uncomfortable or threatening."
"The new rule comes into force on May 1st and covers the entire station areas of Zoologischer Garten and Ostbahnhof, including the forecourts outside the main entrances. From that date, drinking alcohol anywhere on station premises is prohibited."
"In cases of repeated violations, DB reserves the right to issue station bans or even file criminal complaints. Clear signs will be installed in and around both stations to mark the alcohol-free zones."
