The bus is indeed marked "TXL". Like in the US, busses have either numbers or other signs in addition to the final destination.
It is "TXL" on the left side and "S+U Alexanderplatz via Hauptbahnhof" on the right side (sometimes the "via Hauptbahanhof" is missing or running with other en route stops below the "S+U Alexanderplatz")
