Ferry transport forms part of the transport network of Berlin due to the city's extensive network of rivers, lakes, and canals. 6 routes operate within the city boundaries and one serves the city of Potsdam, which are part of the common public transport tariff run by the Verkehrsverbund Berlin-Brandenburg (VBB).
Outside of this system there are private and tourist ferries, the Straussee Ferry is notable as it is one of only a handful of electrically operated cable ferries in the world.
