Through the takeover of its competitor MeinFernbus in January 2015, Flixbus became the undisputed market leader in Germany. In August 2016 followed the takeover of the Postbus of Deutsche Post, giving the company control of around 80 % of the German long-distance coach market; in July 2016, Flixbus also acquired the European activities of Megabus. The company operates on a platform model: the buses are run on behalf of more than 1,000 regional bus partners, while Flix takes care of network planning, timetables, pricing, distribution, marketing and customer service. In April 2022, the corporate structure was converted from a GmbH into the Flix SE. The Flix group also includes FlixTrain (since 2018), the US company Greyhound Lines (since 2021) and the Turkish operator Kâmil Koç. The network covers around 45 countries in Europe, North and South America, Asia and Oceania with over 300,000 daily connections to more than 8,700 destinations; in total, more than 500 million passengers have used the service since it launched. ## Routes In Germany, Flixbus operates a nationwide long-distance coach network; important hubs are the Zentraler Omnibusbahnhof (ZOB) Berlin am Funkturm, the ZOB Hamburg at the Hauptbahnhof, the ZOB München an der Hackerbrücke, the coach terminal at Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof as well as the coach stops at the main stations of Cologne, Düsseldorf, Dresden, Leipzig and Stuttgart. Important German domestic trunk routes include Hamburg–Berlin, Berlin–Munich, Cologne–Berlin, Düsseldorf–Frankfurt and Berlin–Dresden.

The first section between Schlump and Emilienstraße was opened on 21 October 1913; the line designation U2 was introduced with the timetable change on 22 May 1966. As a result of the line swap of 2009, the U2 has since terminated at Mümmelmannsberg, while the U3 became a ring line again. ## Operator The operator is the [[organization_hamburger_hochbahn|Hamburger Hochbahn AG]]. ## History The U2 went into operation on 21 October 1913 on the section Schlump–Emilienstraße; in 1914 the extension to Hellkamp followed, whose station was abandoned in 1964 and replaced in 1965 by Lutterothstraße. In the following decades the line was extended westwards: in 1966 to Hagenbecks Tierpark, in 1985 to Niendorf Markt and on 9 March 1991 to today's terminus Niendorf Nord. With the line swap of 2009, the eastern sections of the U2 and U3 beyond the Berliner Tor were exchanged; since then the U2 has ended at Mümmelmannsberg, where it has run since 29 September 1990 (at that time as the U3). ## Stations Stations in operating direction (from Niendorf Nord to Mümmelmannsberg): - Niendorf Nord - Schippelsweg - Joachim-Mähl-Straße - Niendorf Markt - Hagendeel - Hagenbecks Tierpark - Lutterothstraße - Osterstraße - Emilienstraße - Christuskirche - Schlump - Messehallen - Gänsemarkt - Jungfernstieg - Hauptbahnhof Nord - Berliner Tor - Burgstraße - Hammer Kirche - Rauhes Haus - Horner Rennbahn - Legienstraße - Billstedt - Merkenstraße - Steinfurther Allee - Mümmelmannsberg /concepts/ubahn-hamburg-u2.html en zh ar en es fr hi id it ja ko ms nl pt ru th tr vi zh-hant metro_line place_de_duesseldorf_flughafen place de-duesseldorf-flughafen

It operates urban public local transport in Nuremberg (partly also in the surrounding area, e.g. Fürth) and is a member of the Verkehrsverbund Großraum Nürnberg (VGN). With around 2,300 employees and almost 400 vehicles, it keeps the Nuremberg transport system running; its roots go back to the Nürnberg-Fürther Straßenbahn (from 1881). ## Operations The VAG operates: - The three U-Bahn lines U1, U2 and U3 of the Nuremberg U-Bahn, including with the U3 the first fully automatic U-Bahn in Germany (opened in 2008; the U2 followed in 2010, the U1 is operated conventionally with drivers). - The Nuremberg tram with several lines. - A dense bus network (city bus) in Nuremberg and into the surrounding area. ## History The roots of the VAG lie in the horse tram Nürnberg–Fürth opened on 25 August 1881, which was taken over by the city of Nuremberg in 1903; omnibuses have run in Nuremberg since 1923. In 1959, as part of a reorganisation of the Städtische Werke Nürnberg, the transport company was spun off as Verkehrs-Aktiengesellschaft Nürnberg (VAG), while the tram vehicles continued to run under the name Nürnberg-Fürther Straßenbahn until 1981.

It covers the area of the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg as well as neighbouring regions in Schleswig-Holstein and Lower Saxony. The association coordinates timetables, fares and ticketing of the participating transport companies, including the Hamburger Hochbahn, the S-Bahn Hamburg, DB Regio, VHH and HADAG. ## Operations The hvv does not operate any transport itself, but coordinates the transport services of its member companies, among others: - The Hamburg U-Bahn of [[organization_hamburger_hochbahn|Hamburger Hochbahn AG]] (lines U1–U4). - The S-Bahn Hamburg (S-Bahn Hamburg GmbH). - Bus, regional bus and ferry lines as well as regional railways in the association area. ## History The Hamburger Verkehrsverbund was initiated on 29 November 1965 by four founding partners – the Hamburger Hochbahn AG, the Deutsche Bundesbahn, the HADAG Seetouristik und Fährdienst AG and the Verkehrsbetriebe Hamburg-Holstein (VHH) – and was the first transport association of its kind worldwide. On 1 January 1967, a uniform tariff, joint revenue sharing and a coordinated overall timetable followed. The shareholders of hvv GmbH today are the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg (85.5 per cent), Schleswig-Holstein (3 per cent), Lower Saxony (2 per cent) and seven districts (9.5 per cent). /organizations/hvv-hamburg.html en zh ar en es fr hi id it ja ko ms nl pt ru th tr vi zh-hant transit_association 1965 year 29.

It is the only east–west ICE line in central Germany. Trains of the ICE T series are used. ## Operator The operator is [[organization_db_fernverkehr|DB Fernverkehr (DB Long-Distance Transport)]]. ## History Line 50 emerged in summer 2000 from the reassignment of IC line 9 and initially ran with ICE T trainsets between Wiesbaden/Saarbrücken, Frankfurt, Erfurt, Leipzig and Dresden. In 2004 the ICE services of line 15 were integrated; from 2010 to 2015 a mixed IC/ICE interval ran under line number 50. Since the timetable change in December 2015 the line has again run exclusively with ICE trains and uses the Erfurt–Leipzig/Halle high-speed line. ## Major stations The line serves, among others, the following stations: - Dresden Hbf - Dresden-Neustadt - Riesa - Leipzig Hbf - Erfurt Hbf - Gotha - Eisenach - Fulda - Frankfurt (Main) Hbf - Frankfurt (M) Flughafen Fernbahnhof - Mainz Hbf - Wiesbaden Hbf ## Further information line_frequency: two-hourly ## Special features Line 50 is the only east–west ICE line in central Germany. The tilting-train ICE T (Class 411) units are used, but their tilting technology has been out of service since 2008 due to technical problems (axle fractures). Until the timetable change in December 2015, one train pair ran from Eisenach via Bebra, Kassel, Paderborn and Hamm to Düsseldorf.

It is 20.7 kilometres long and serves 25 stations. The line runs from Wandsbek-Gartenstadt via Barmbek into the ring, which leads through the city centre back to Barmbek. The first sections of the ring were opened in February 1912 – making them among the oldest sections of the Hamburg U-Bahn. After the line swap of 2009, the U3 is once again a ring line with a branch line to Wandsbek-Gartenstadt. ## Operator The operator is the [[organization_hamburger_hochbahn|Hamburger Hochbahn AG]]. ## History The ring line was built from 1906 to 1912; its first section went into operation in February 1912 between Rathaus, Hauptbahnhof and Barmbek – making the U3 the oldest line of the network. With the opening of the line to Horner Rennbahn on 2 January 1967 and its continuation to Billstedt, the U3 no longer ran as a ring but as a diameter line until 2009. In the line swap of 2009, the eastern sections of the U2 and U3 beyond the Berliner Tor were exchanged; since then the U3 has again been a ring line with a branch to Wandsbek-Gartenstadt. ## Stations Stations in operating direction (ring line from Barmbek via the city centre back to Barmbek, connection to the branch line to Wandsbek-Gartenstadt): Ring (Barmbek – Barmbek): - Barmbek - Saarlandstraße - Borgweg - Sierichstraße - Kellinghusenstraße - Eppendorfer Baum - Hoheluftbrücke - Schlump - Sternschanze - Feldstraße - St. Pauli - Landungsbrücken - Baumwall - Rödingsmarkt - Rathaus - Mönckebergstraße - Hauptbahnhof Süd - Berliner Tor - Lübecker Straße - Uhlandstraße - Mundsburg - Hamburger Straße - Dehnhaide - Barmbek Branch line to Wandsbek-Gartenstadt: - Barmbek - Habichtstraße - Wandsbek-Gartenstadt /concepts/ubahn-hamburg-u3.html en zh ar en es fr hi id it ja ko ms nl pt ru th tr vi zh-hant metro_line line_depots Technische Basis Fröttmaning; Betriebsanlage Süd (Neuperlach Süd) line_headway als weniger stark frequentierte Linie tagsüber im 10-Minuten-Takt (im gemeinsamen Abschnitt mit U5 verdichtet); frühmorgens und spätabends alle 20 Minuten oder länger line_hours Betrieb täglich ca. 4:00 bis ca. 1:00 Uhr (werktags) bzw. ca. 2:00 Uhr (Wochenende); seit 2025 durchgehender Nachtverkehr in den Nächten auf Samstag und Sonntag sowie vor Feiertagen (alle Hauptlinien im 30-Minuten-Takt); ab ca. 20:40 Uhr verkehrt die U4 nur noch zwischen Odeonsplatz und Arabellapark line_last_extension 27.

About 3.66 million inhabitants (2022 census) live on around 892 km² – Berlin is also Germany's largest city. Its ISO-3166-2 code is DE-BE. After reunification in 1990, Berlin received the full status of a federal state. ## Administrative divisions As a city state, Berlin is city and state at once; there are no rural districts. Instead, the city is divided into 12 boroughs (e.g. Mitte, Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf, Neukölln), which perform the tasks of municipal administration. ## Major cities - Berlin (as a city state, the city constitutes the entire state) ## Transport Berlin's U-Bahn network with lines [[concept_ubahn_berlin_u1|U1]] to U9 is operated by [[organization_bvg|BVG]], complemented by the Berlin S-Bahn. With Berlin Brandenburg Airport, several ICE hubs and a dense road and cycling network, Berlin is the central transport hub of the east. ## Economy Berlin is a centre for services, the digital economy, creative and cultural industries and start-ups; compared with the territorial states, industry plays a smaller role. /places/de-berlin.html en zh ar en es fr hi id it ja ko ms nl pt ru th tr vi zh-hant Bundesland (Stadtstaat) 52.52 13.4 Deutschland 1990 year 1990 (vollwertiges Bundesland nach der Wiedervereinigung) line_operator Flixbus GmbH line_owner Flix SE line_status In Betrieb line_termini Berlin (ZOB am Funkturm) – München (ZOB an der Hackerbrücke) concept_fernbus_berlin_muenchen concept fernbus-berlin-muenchen

With the timetable change on 15 December 2013, the reinforcement services that had already run on Saturdays from Olympiazentrum via the Hauptbahnhof to the Sendlinger Tor received their own line number; since 9 December 2018 the trains have continued on to Neuperlach Zentrum. The line runs on Saturday afternoons only, relieves the lines U2 and U3, and enables a transfer-free connection from the Hauptbahnhof to the Olympic Park. It serves 19 stations on all three trunk lines of the network. The U8 exclusively uses the routes of other lines: between Olympiazentrum and Scheidplatz it runs parallel to the U3 (Stammstrecke 1), then up to the Innsbrucker Ring parallel to the U2 (Stammstrecke 2), and from there parallel to the U5 (Stammstrecke 3) to Neuperlach Zentrum. It therefore serves a section of the historic line U8 of 1980–1988, which at that time ran from Olympiazentrum via the Sendlinger Tor to Neuperlach Süd. ## Operating hours The U8 runs on Saturday afternoons only. During construction works in the network it is occasionally operated shortened (e.g. between Hauptbahnhof and Neuperlach Zentrum). ## Operator The operator is the [[organization_mvg|Munich Transport Company (MVG)]], a subsidiary of Stadtwerke München (SWM). ## History With the timetable change on 15 December 2013, the Saturday-afternoon reinforcement line between Olympiazentrum and the trade fair branch received its own line number; it relieves the U2 and U3 and improves the connection from the Hauptbahnhof to the Olympic Park. On 9 December 2018 the U8 was extended to Neuperlach Zentrum. Already from 1980 to 1988 there had been a U8 between Olympiazentrum and Neuperlach Süd, which was renamed U2 in 1988. ## Stations Stations in operating direction (towards Neuperlach Zentrum): - Olympiazentrum - Petuelring - Scheidplatz - Hohenzollernplatz - Josephsplatz - Theresienstraße - Königsplatz - Hauptbahnhof - Sendlinger Tor - Fraunhoferstraße - Kolumbusplatz - Silberhornstraße - Untersbergstraße - Giesing - Karl-Preis-Platz - Innsbrucker Ring - Michaelibad - Quiddestraße - Neuperlach Zentrum /concepts/ubahn-muenchen-u8.html en zh ar en es fr hi id it ja ko ms nl pt ru th tr vi zh-hant metro_line place_de_plaerrer place de-plaerrer

It was put into operation on 18 October 1980 with the opening of the Stammstrecke 2 (Hauptbahnhof–Innsbrucker Ring) and was initially designated U8. At 24.4 km, it is the longest line of the network; its line colour is red. The U2 is the only line that runs on all three trunk lines of the network: north of the Hauptbahnhof it shares the trasse with the U3/U6 up to Scheidplatz, in the inner-city section it runs together with the U1 (Stammstrecke 2), and east of the Innsbrucker Ring it runs as an independent branch via Trudering to Messestadt. In the urban section Milbertshofen–Innsbrucker Ring it is supplemented during peak hours by the reinforcement line U7. ## Operator The operator is the [[organization_mvg|Munich Transport Company (MVG)]], a subsidiary of Stadtwerke München (SWM). ## History Today's U2 went into operation on 18 October 1980 as U8 between Scheidplatz and Neuperlach Süd and has borne the designation U2 since 1988; no other Munich U-Bahn branch underwent more route and name changes. The line was extended northwards in 1993 to Dülferstraße and on 26 October 1996 to Feldmoching. On 29 May 1999 the opening of the branch to the trade fair grounds followed; since then the U2 ends at Messestadt Ost and ceded the section to Neuperlach Süd to the U5. ## Stations Stations in operating direction (towards Messestadt Ost): - Feldmoching - Hasenbergl - Dülferstraße - Harthof - Am Hart - Frankfurter Ring - Milbertshofen - Scheidplatz - Hohenzollernplatz - Josephsplatz - Theresienstraße - Königsplatz - Hauptbahnhof - Sendlinger Tor - Fraunhoferstraße - Kolumbusplatz - Silberhornstraße - Untersbergstraße - Giesing - Karl-Preis-Platz - Innsbrucker Ring - Josephsburg - Kreillerstraße - Trudering - Moosfeld - Messestadt West - Messestadt Ost /concepts/ubahn-muenchen-u2.html en zh ar en es fr hi id it ja ko ms nl pt ru th tr vi zh-hant metro_line place_de_frankfurt_flughafen_regionalbahnhof place de-frankfurt-flughafen-regionalbahnhof

It was founded on 27 June 2001 and is a 100% subsidiary of the Stadtwerke München (SWM), which in turn is wholly owned by the city of Munich. As part of the restructuring of the municipal transport companies, the MVG took over the U-Bahn, tram and bus business from the SWM transport companies at the turn of the year 2001/2002. The MVG is a partner in the Münchner Verkehrs- und Tarifverbund (MVV) and operates the association network in coordination with the S-Bahn München and other transport companies. The company also operates the MVG Museum on Ständlerstraße. ## Operations - U-Bahn: operation of all eight lines U1–U8 (including the reinforcement lines U7 and U8) with around 100 stations; the U-Bahn facilities were built by the state capital Munich and are operated by SWM/MVG. During peak hours the lines run every 5 minutes. - Tram: operation of the Munich tram network with more than a dozen lines; after decades of downsizing, the network has been expanded again (e.g. Westtangente). - Bus: operation of the Munich city bus network (MetroBus, StadtBus and ExpressBus lines), partly in cooperation with private contracted companies. ## Operator structure The MVG is 100 % owned by the Stadtwerke München (SWM), the municipal utility company; the company is therefore in the ownership of the city of Munich. The S-Bahn München is not part of the MVG and is operated by a DB company. ## History The Münchner Verkehrsgesellschaft mbH was founded on 27 June 2001 as a subsidiary of the Stadtwerke München and took over the operation of U-Bahn, tram and city buses from the Stadtwerke München Verkehrsbetriebe, which were dissolved at the same time. As a 100 per cent subsidiary of the Stadtwerke München, whose shareholder is the state capital Munich, the MVG has since operated the municipal transport network within the Münchner Verkehrs- und Tarifverbund (MVV). /organizations/mvg.html en zh ar en es fr hi id it ja ko ms nl pt ru th tr vi zh-hant metro_operator 2001 year 27.

Individual services are awarded to subcontractors, including smaller and midibuses on the outskirts. ## History Berlin's bus service is the city's oldest public transport service: as early as 1825, Simon Kremser put the first horse-drawn omnibus line from the Brandenburg Gate to Charlottenburg into service; on 30 October 1846 the first regular lines of the Concessionierten Berliner Omnibus-Compagnie followed. Motorisation began at the start of the 20th century with the ABOAG (founded 1868); the last horse-drawn omnibus ran on 25 August 1923. On 1 January 1929 the bus operations were absorbed into the newly founded Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe (BVG), which are today gradually switching to emission-free electric buses with the goal of an emission-free fleet by 2030. ## Line classes - MetroBus (M11 to M85): 17 lines with an "M" prefix, in operation around the clock, at least every 10 minutes during the day; they provide basic services where U-Bahn and tram leave gaps - ExpressBus (X7 to X83): 13 fast lines with few stops, mainly airport connections and direct links between suburbs and the city centre (e.g. X9, X71) - Night bus (N1 to N97): 45 lines; N1–N9 replace the U-Bahn lines U1–U9 on weekday nights, the remaining N lines serve important day lines and peripheral districts - City bus lines 100–399: regular day lines, including the touristically famous line 100 (Zoologischer Garten – Alexanderplatz) ## Major hubs - Zentraler Omnibusbahnhof (ZOB) am Funkturm (long-distance and central bus hub, Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf) - Alexanderplatz - Hauptbahnhof - Bahnhof Zoologischer Garten - Rathaus Spandau - Mehringplatz/Mehringdamm and Hermannplatz (MetroBus hubs) ## Further information network_lines: approx. 152 day lines (17 MetroBus M, 13 ExpressBus X) and 45 NachtBus lines; network_area: Berlin; network_status: In operation /concepts/busnetz-berlin.html en zh ar en es fr hi id it ja ko ms nl pt ru th tr vi zh-hant bus_network line_opened 1863 line_operator In-der-City-Bus GmbH (ICB, Stadtwerke Frankfurt); zuständige Infrastruktur- und Servicegesellschaft: VGF line_owner Stadt Frankfurt am Main concept_busnetz_frankfurt concept busnetz-frankfurt

The Frankfurt city bus network consists of MetroBus lines (M), city bus lines (two-digit numbers) and ExpressBus lines (X) within the RMV fare system; since 2014 the bus operations have been run by In-der-City-Bus GmbH (ICB), part of the Stadtwerke group.

It is divided into MetroBus lines (M32, M34, M36, M43, M46, M55, M60, M72), which also run every 30 minutes at night, one- to two-digit city bus lines (e.g. 28, 29, 30, 34, 36, 39, 43, 46, 54, 55, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 72, 77) and ExpressBus lines with an "X" prefix (e.g. X17, X61, X77). At night, rail-aligned night bus lines (N4, N5, N7, N8, N11, N12, N16, N18), which mirror the line numbers of the U-Bahn and tram lines, as well as RMV regional night lines, take over the service. ## Operator [[organization_vgf_frankfurt|Frankfurt municipal transport company (VGF)]] is the city's municipal transport service provider and operates the U-Bahn and tram; in the bus sector it is responsible for infrastructure, customer and sales services. Since the Stadtwerke holding took over In-der-City-Bus GmbH (ICB) on 1 September 2014, the operational bus business has been in the hands of ICB; the task owner is traffiQ, the municipal company for local public transport. ## History The first public bus lines in Frankfurt were operated by the Frankfurter Omnibus-Gesellschaft (FOG) from 1863 with horse-drawn omnibuses, among others from Bockenheim to the Hanauer Bahnhof. In 1925 the first eight motorised omnibuses were put into municipal service, which since the city's takeover of the horse tram in 1898 has been carried by the municipal transport companies. Since the timetable change of 2010/2011, the VGF no longer offers its own bus operations; the operational bus business has since lain with In-der-City-Bus GmbH (ICB), which was acquired by the Stadtwerke holding in 2014. ## Line classes - MetroBus (M32–M72): main lines with 24-hour operation or a 30-minute night frequency - StadtBus (two-digit numbers, e.g. 30, 36, 39, 61, 64, 72, 77): district and connecting lines, including airport lines 58, 61 and 62 - ExpressBus (X lines, e.g. X17, X61, X77): fast direct connections with few stops, among others to the airport and into the surrounding area - Night bus (N4–N18 rail-aligned as well as RMV night lines, e.g. N61, N71, N96): night network starting from Konstablerwache or the Hauptbahnhof ## Major hubs - Konstablerwache (central hub of urban and night bus traffic) - Hauptbahnhof with long-distance coach terminal (Stuttgarter Straße) - Hauptwache - Südbahnhof - Frankfurt Airport Terminal 1 (bus bays for lines 58, 61, 62, X17) ## Further information network_lines: MetroBus M32–M72, StadtBus (e.g. 28–89), ExpressBus X17/X61/X77, NachtBus N4–N18; network_area: Frankfurt am Main (RMV); network_status: In operation /concepts/busnetz-frankfurt.html en zh ar en es fr hi id it ja ko ms nl pt ru th tr vi zh-hant bus_network line_opened 1925 line_operator Kölner Verkehrs-Betriebe AG (KVB) line_owner Stadt Köln concept_busnetz_koeln concept busnetz-koeln

By the end of 2025, 19 lines had already been converted to electric propulsion – line 133, as the first Cologne bus line, has been running exclusively electrically since 2016. In addition, SchnellBus lines (SB) run into the region. The KVB light rail network comprises 12 lines; the buses serve the districts not covered by the light rail. ## Operator The operator is [[organization_kvb|Cologne Transport Company (KVB)]], which emerged in 1877 as a horse tram operation and is today the fourth-largest municipal transport company in Germany with around 4,000 employees; all services are integrated into the fare system of the Verkehrsverbund Rhein-Sieg (VRS). ## History Urban local transport in Cologne began on 20 May 1877 with a horse tram between Deutz and Kalk, operated by a private company for the city, which passed into municipal hands on 1 January 1900. The first motorised omnibuses ran through Cologne from 1925; from 1950 to 1959 a trolleybus briefly supplemented the service. Today, Kölner Verkehrs-Betriebe AG (KVB), which is 90 percent owned by the Stadtwerke Köln and 10 percent by the city of Cologne, operates a network of light rail and bus lines and is increasingly relying on emission-free buses. ## Line classes - StadtBus lines 1xx (lines 100 to approx. 169): the urban basic network, e.g. lines 132/133 via Breslauer Platz/Hauptbahnhof and Neumarkt; 133 fully electric since 2016 - MetroBus-style main lines: high-frequency axes connecting light rail and S-Bahn stations - SchnellBus lines (SB designation, e.g. SB55): express connections from and into the surrounding area - Night services: at night, night lines serve the most important axes; uniform night line numbers apply within the VRS (e.g. NE lines) ## Major hubs - Breslauer Platz/Hauptbahnhof (ZOB Köln, central bus station beneath the Hauptbahnhof) - Neumarkt - Heumarkt - Ebertplatz - Köln Messe/Deutz - Chorweiler and Porz Markt (outskirts hubs) ## Further information network_lines: around 60 bus lines (city lines 1xx, SchnellBus SB) on approx. 735 km; network_area: Cologne and surrounding area (VRS); network_status: In operation /concepts/busnetz-koeln.html en zh ar en es fr hi id it ja ko ms nl pt ru th tr vi zh-hant bus_network line_opened 1898 line_operator Münchner Verkehrsgesellschaft mbH (MVG) line_owner Landeshauptstadt München concept_busnetz_muenchen concept busnetz-muenchen

The division of the network into line classes goes back to the transport research project "Top Bus" and came into force on 12 December 2004. At night, 15 night lines (night bus) take over the service. ## Operator The operator is [[organization_mvg|Munich Transport Company (MVG)]], a subsidiary of the Stadtwerke München; it operates U-Bahn, tram and bus in Munich. Private partners provide part of the vehicles and drivers. ## History Forerunners of today's bus service were horse-drawn omnibuses deployed in Munich from 1861. In 1898, the Motorwagen-Gesellschaft München AG, a forerunner of today's Autobus Oberbayern, put the first motor omnibus lines into service; from 1906, a regular scheduled service with motor buses ran for the first time. Since the founding of the Münchner Verkehrsgesellschaft (MVG) in 2001, it has operated the city bus network as a subsidiary of the Stadtwerke München, and the conversion to emission-free drives is being continuously advanced. ## Line classes - MetroBus (lines 50–63 and 68): around 13–14 main lines, at least every 10 minutes during the day, connecting the most important interchange points - StadtBus (lines 100–199): more than 50 district feeder lines, including the museum line 100 (Hauptbahnhof – Ostbahnhof via Museumsinsel and Pinakotheken); compared with the MetroBuses, reduced service in the evenings and at weekends - ExpressBus (lines with "X" prefix, e.g. X30, X35, X36, X80): fast cross-connections between major interchange nodes with few intermediate stops - Night bus (e.g. N40–N45, N71–N81): night route network with star-shaped services - MVV regional buses (lines 200–999): connections into the districts of the surrounding area ## Major hubs - Hauptbahnhof - Karlsplatz (Stachus) - Ostbahnhof - Münchner Freiheit and Arabellapark - Fürstenried West and Westfriedhof (MetroBus hubs) ## Further information network_lines: 80 bus lines (as of 2024): MetroBus 50–63/68, StadtBus 100–199, ExpressBus X, NachtBus N; network_area: Munich (MVV inner area); network_status: In operation /concepts/busnetz-muenchen.html en zh ar en es fr hi id it ja ko ms nl pt ru th tr vi zh-hant bus_network line_opened 1921 line_operator Hamburger Hochbahn AG (HOCHBAHN) line_owner Freie und Hansestadt Hamburg concept_busnetz_hamburg concept busnetz-hamburg

The Hochbahn carries around 1.3 million passengers daily (bus and U-Bahn combined) and provides about half of all local transport services in the hvv. ## Operator The operator is [[organization_hamburger_hochbahn|Hamburger Hochbahn AG]] (HOCHBAHN), owned by the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg; in addition to the buses it also operates four U-Bahn lines. In the city area and surrounding region, city and regional buses of other companies also run on behalf of the hvv. ## History On 31 October 1839, the Hamburg–Altona line ran as the city's first horse-drawn omnibus line. The age of the motor bus began on 5 December 1921, when the Hamburger Hochbahn AG (HOCHBAHN) opened a first trial line between Schlump and Landwehr; on 1 December 1924, the first permanently established omnibus line from Eppendorfer Baum via Dammtor and Stephansplatz to Rathausmarkt entered service. Today, with around 1,100 buses, the HOCHBAHN operates one of the largest city bus networks in Germany and is converting it step by step to electric buses. ## Line classes - MetroBus (lines 1–27): around 25 basic lines on the most important urban corridors, dense frequency during the day, connections to rapid transit and regional services - SchnellBus (lines 31–49): around 10 direct lines with few intermediate stops from the surrounding area and city outskirts to the centre, for a surcharge - EilBus (E40–E86): express lines to rapid transit stations, mainly during rush hour - Night bus (lines 600–688): on weekday nights (Sun–Thu) every 30–60 minutes, the meeting point of all night lines is the Rathausmarkt; at weekends, continuous night services complement U-Bahn and S-Bahn - City and regional buses: numbers from 100, connections into the surrounding area ## Major hubs - Zentraler Omnibusbahnhof (ZOB) Hamburg at the Hauptbahnhof - Rathausmarkt (central night transport hub) - Bahnhof Altona - Bahnhof Harburg - Krayenkamp/Landungsbrücken (connection to Elbe ferries) ## Further information network_lines: 117 bus lines of the Hochbahn (2023); MetroBus 1–27, SchnellBus 31–49, EilBus E40–E86, NachtBus 600–688; network_area: Hamburg and hvv surrounding area; network_status: In operation /concepts/busnetz-hamburg.html en zh ar en es fr hi id it ja ko ms nl pt ru th tr vi zh-hant bus_network line_depots ICE-Werk München (ICE 3) line_headway Stundentakt line_max_speed bis zu 300 km/h (ICE 3) line_operator DB Fernverkehr AG line_owner Deutsche Bahn AG (Betreiber: DB Fernverkehr AG) line_rolling_stock ICE 3, ICE 3 Velaro D line_status In Betrieb line_structure Ausbaustrecken Ruhrgebiet–Köln; Schnellfahrstrecke Köln–Rhein/Main zum Frankfurter Flughafen; über Würzburg (Ausbaustrecke) und die Schnellfahrstrecke Nürnberg–Ingolstadt nach München line_termini Essen Hbf – München Hbf (einzelne Züge ab/bis Dortmund Hbf) concept_ice_41 concept ice-41

It runs over a distance of 12.2 km between Olympia-Einkaufszentrum in the district of Moosach and Mangfallplatz in Untergiesing-Harlaching, serving 15 stations. The line was established in 1980 together with the then U8 (today's U2) and initially ran on its trasse; only after the completion of the branch to Rotkreuzplatz (1983) did it become an independent line. In 1997 the southern extension beyond Kolumbusplatz to Mangfallplatz was opened, and in 2004 the U1 reached Olympia-Einkaufszentrum in the north. The line colour of the U1 is green. In the heavily frequented inner-city section it runs together with the U2 on the Stammstrecke 2 between Hauptbahnhof, Sendlinger Tor and Kolumbusplatz at close intervals. ## Operator The operator is the [[organization_mvg|Munich Transport Company (MVG)]], a subsidiary of Stadtwerke München (SWM). ## History The U1 began operations on 18 October 1980 together with the original U8 (today's U2) and initially ran on a section of the U2 route; with the opening of the branch to Rotkreuzplatz (28 May 1983) it became an independent line.

It was opened on 1 December 1910 by the then independent city of Schöneberg as Germany's first municipal U-Bahn (client: Schöneberg; construction: Siemens & Halske/AEG) and is the only Berlin U-Bahn line that was never extended. It has borne the designation U4 since 28 February 1966. ## Operator Operated by [[organization_bvg|Berlin Transport Company (BVG)]]. ## History The Schöneberg U-Bahn was built by the city of Schöneberg, which was independent until 1920, and was the first municipally built U-Bahn in Germany; after construction began on 8 December 1908, the line was opened on 1 December 1910 between Nollendorfplatz and Innsbrucker Platz (then Hauptstraße). Operation was transferred to the Berliner Hochbahngesellschaft; only in 1926, with the reconstruction of Nollendorfplatz, was a track connection to the Berlin Kleinprofil network created. The line was never extended and thus retained its original length of around 2.9 kilometres. ## Stations Stations in operating direction from north to south (Nollendorfplatz – Innsbrucker Platz): - Nollendorfplatz - Viktoria-Luise-Platz - Bayerischer Platz - Rathaus Schöneberg - Innsbrucker Platz ## Special features With a length of 2.9 kilometres and five stations, the U4 is the shortest Berlin U-Bahn line; it has never been extended since its opening and is also the only line without continuous night service on weekends. At its opening in 1910 it was the pride of the then city of Schöneberg; the excavated soil from the tunnel was used to fill the Rudolph-Wilde-Park. Until 1932 the line had its own workshop on Otzenstraße; thereafter the vehicles were maintained using the facilities of the Berlin U-Bahn network (including the Grunewald depot). Nollendorfplatz station is a central junction: all four Kleinprofil lines (U1–U4) meet here; the U4 initially received its own underground station on Motzstraße in 1910, before the joint reconstruction into a four-station junction was created in 1926. An extension today is blocked by the tunnel of the Stadtring (A 100) crossing beneath Innsbrucker Platz as well as by the preliminary construction works for the never-realised U10, so southern extension plans are considered unfeasible. All five stations are barrier-free; on the occasion of the centenary, a museum train of class A1 ran on the line in November 2010. /concepts/ubahn-berlin-u4.html en zh ar en es fr hi id it ja ko ms nl pt ru th tr vi zh-hant metro_line line_depots Betriebswerkstatt Friedrichsfelde; Abstellanlage Hönow line_headway Grundtakt 10 Minuten, zur HVZ 5 Minuten (teilweise nur zwischen Alexanderplatz und Kaulsdorf-Nord); Nachtnetz alle 15 Minuten line_hours werktags ca. 4:30 bis 1:00 Uhr; in den Nächten Freitag/Samstag und Samstag/Sonntag durchgehender Betrieb (Nachtnetz, 15-Minuten-Takt) line_last_extension 4.

It has 26 stations and a length of roughly 22 km. The line was opened on 21 December 1930 (section Alexanderplatz–Friedrichsfelde); its last expansion was the U5 extension from Alexanderplatz to the Hauptbahnhof on 4 December 2020, which incorporated the former line U55. ## Operator Operated by [[organization_bvg|Berlin Transport Company (BVG)]]. ## History The Großprofil line E was opened on 21 December 1930 between Alexanderplatz and Friedrichsfelde and remained the only Großprofil line in East Berlin until 1990. This was followed by the extensions to Tierpark (25 June 1973), to Elsterwerdaer Platz (1 July 1988) and to Hönow (1 July 1989). The section Hauptbahnhof–Brandenburger Tor (U55), opened in August 2009, was connected to the U5 on 4 December 2020 by closing the gap to Alexanderplatz, giving the U5 access to the Hauptbahnhof. ## Stations Stations in operating direction from west to east (Hauptbahnhof – Hönow): - Hauptbahnhof - Bundestag - Brandenburger Tor - Unter den Linden - Museumsinsel - Rotes Rathaus - Alexanderplatz - Schillingstraße - Strausberger Platz - Weberwiese - Frankfurter Tor - Samariterstraße - Frankfurter Allee - Magdalenenstraße - Lichtenberg - Friedrichsfelde - Tierpark - Biesdorf-Süd - Elsterwerdaer Platz - Wuhletal - Kaulsdorf-Nord - Kienberg (Gärten der Welt) - Cottbusser Platz - Hellersdorf - Louis-Lewin-Straße - Hönow /concepts/ubahn-berlin-u5.html en zh ar en es fr hi id it ja ko ms nl pt ru th tr vi zh-hant metro_line 75050 77387 43 30 People 3931 Places 57082 Events 288 Organizations 452 Works 11882 Concepts 1415 简体中文 75050 English 48961 日本語 1158 Français 1064 Español 1042 Italiano 1021 Bahasa Melayu 997 العربية 993 Bahasa Indonesia 990 Русский 987 हिन्दी 985 ไทย 984 Português 972 Deutsch 970 Nederlands 970 Tiếng Việt 962 한국어 961 Türkçe 952 繁體中文 920 en 186 100 50001 501 /en/index-185.xml /en/index-187.xml
