I really like it! Well done!

- As others have mentioned, it seems dodgy on Firefox. The button to switch between U-Bahn and S+U mode doesn't seem to work at all on Safari (?)

- Completely unreasonable request, but it would be cool if it were to show the current engineering works - i.e. the U1 not running, and the temporary U12 taking over the western U2 and U1

If anyone else is a urban railways geek, then may I introduce you to CartoMetro - https://cartometro.com/ - an amazingly detailed map of various (mostly French) urban rail systems (although sadly lacking Berlin!)

Another great one is https://www.worldmetro.io/map, which came out of a very cool Kickstarter project[1] that mashed up nearly every urban railway in the world into a huge, interconnected network. I bought one of the large 60” x 45” maps and I still sometimes sit and stare at it, trying to find the various stops where I’ve lived and worked over the years.

Looks like it's not available anymore, the website now mostly talks about NFT and minting stations. Shame, would've loved to buy a paper map.
OpenRailwayMap is also worth a mention: https://www.openrailwaymap.org/
It’s working on my iOS 15 iPad:
