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.

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.

It is the largest local transport company in Hamburg and a core partner in the Hamburger Verkehrsverbund (hvv), of which it was a founding member in 1965. The name derives from the construction of elevated railway sections in the inner city; large parts of the network run above ground – despite the "U" for Untergrund (underground). ## Operations The Hochbahn operates: - The four U-Bahn lines U1, U2, U3 and U4 of the Hamburg U-Bahn with 93 stations and around 250 million passengers annually. - An extensive bus network with over 110 bus lines and around 1,000 buses, including the expansion of the electric bus fleet and projects on autonomous driving. - In planning: the new, fully automatic line U5 as well as the automation of the existing network (project U-Bahn100). From 1919 to 1978, the Hochbahn also operated the Hamburg tram network. ## History The Hamburger Hochbahn AG was founded on 27 May 1911 by Siemens & Halske and AEG as a consortium; the first chairman of the board was Albert Ballin. In 1918/1919 the company was reorganised as a mixed-economy enterprise and took over at the end of 1918, with the Straßen-Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft (SEG), the largest Hamburg tram operator; from 5 December 1921, the HOCHBAHN also operated Hamburg's first motor buses. Since 1965 it has been a founding member of the Hamburger Verkehrsverbund (hvv) and is wholly owned by the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg via the HGV Hamburger Gesellschaft für Vermögens- und Beteiligungsmanagement mbH. /organizations/hamburger-hochbahn.html en zh ar en es fr hi id it ja ko ms nl pt ru th tr vi zh-hant metro_operator 1911 year 27.

The BVG offers around 152 city bus lines during the day, plus 45 night bus lines. The daytime network comprises approx. 1,675 kilometres of route length with more than 2,600 stops. Day line numbers range from 100 to 399. A Berlin speciality is the high proportion of double-decker buses (around 200 of a total of roughly 1,300–1,350 buses). ## Operator The operator is [[organization_bvg|Berlin Transport Company (BVG)]], which also operates the U-Bahn, trams and ferries in Berlin. 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

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

It was introduced with the timetable change on 12 December 2011 and replaced the previous reinforcement services of the U1 between Westfriedhof and Sendlinger Tor. The line runs on weekdays during peak hours (not on Friday afternoons and not during school holidays) on its regular route from Olympia-Einkaufszentrum to Neuperlach Zentrum, serving 19 stations on two trunk lines. For its operation, mostly four-car short trains of classes A and B are used. The U7 exclusively uses the routes of other lines: from Olympia-Einkaufszentrum to Kolumbusplatz it runs parallel to the U1 (Stammstrecke 2), between Hauptbahnhof and Innsbrucker Ring parallel to the U2, and from the Innsbrucker Ring parallel to the U5 up to Neuperlach Zentrum. ## Operating hours The U7 runs on weekdays during peak hours. Since October 2023, as a result of the vehicle shortage at MVG, it has been operated shortened only between Olympia-Einkaufszentrum and Sendlinger Tor; the through service to Neuperlach Zentrum is envisaged again afterwards. ## Operator The operator is the [[organization_mvg|Munich Transport Company (MVG)]], a subsidiary of Stadtwerke München (SWM). ## History The U7 was introduced with the timetable change on 12 December 2011 as a pure reinforcement line without any new route construction. It only runs during peak hours, using the tracks of the U1 (Olympia-Einkaufszentrum to Kolumbusplatz), the U2 (Hauptbahnhof to Innsbrucker Ring) and the U5 (Innsbrucker Ring to Neuperlach Zentrum). Since 15 December 2013 it has run in the afternoons to Neuperlach Zentrum; a temporary extension to Olympia-Einkaufszentrum carried out in 2017 during construction works on the U3 subsequently remained in place permanently. ## Stations Stations of the regular route in operating direction (towards Neuperlach Zentrum): - Olympia-Einkaufszentrum - Georg-Brauchle-Ring - Westfriedhof - Gern - Rotkreuzplatz - Maillingerstraße - Stiglmaierplatz - Hauptbahnhof - Sendlinger Tor - Fraunhoferstraße - Kolumbusplatz - Silberhornstraße - Untersbergstraße - Giesing - Karl-Preis-Platz - Innsbrucker Ring - Michaelibad - Quiddestraße - Neuperlach Zentrum /concepts/ubahn-muenchen-u7.html en zh ar en es fr hi id it ja ko ms nl pt ru th tr vi zh-hant metro_line line_daily_ridership rund 217.000 Fahrgäste pro Tag (2018) line_depots Betriebshof Langwasser line_headway Hauptverkehrszeit alle 5 Minuten, in den Nebenzeiten etwa 5 bis 10 Minuten line_last_extension 8.

It runs from Elbbrücken via HafenCity and the city centre (Jungfernstieg, Hauptbahnhof Nord) to Billstedt, where it shares the tracks of the U2 between Jungfernstieg and Billstedt. The line was opened on 29 November 2012 and extended by one station to Elbbrücken on 7 December 2018. Its recognition colour is turquoise. ## Operator The operator is the [[organization_hamburger_hochbahn|Hamburger Hochbahn AG]]. ## History The U4 was opened in 2012 as the youngest line of the network between Billstedt and HafenCity Universität and is the first line to be established as a branch of an existing line; between Jungfernstieg and Billstedt it shares the tracks with the U2. From Jungfernstieg, a dedicated route leads in a wide 180-degree arc across the Neustadt to the Überseequartier opened in 2012 and on to HafenCity Universität. On 7 December 2018 the line was extended by 1.3 kilometres to the new terminus Elbbrücken, where a connection to the S-Bahn (S3/S5) will be established in the future. ## Stations Stations in operating direction (from Elbbrücken to Billstedt): - Elbbrücken - HafenCity Universität - Überseequartier - Jungfernstieg - Hauptbahnhof Nord - Berliner Tor - Burgstraße - Hammer Kirche - Rauhes Haus - Horner Rennbahn - Legienstraße - Billstedt /concepts/ubahn-hamburg-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 Betriebswerke Barmbek und Farmsen line_headway Grundtakt 10 Minuten tagsüber, ab ca. 23 Uhr alle 20 Minuten; im Innenstadtbereich Mo–Sa bis ca. 21 Uhr alle 5 Minuten; HVZ-Verdichtung auf bestimmten Abschnitten bis 2½ Minuten; die Außenäste Volksdorf–Ohlstedt und Volksdorf–Großhansdorf werden außerhalb der HVZ nur alle 20 Minuten bedient line_hours Betrieb täglich ca. 4:00 bis ca. 1:00 Uhr; in den Nächten von Freitag auf Samstag sowie vor Sonn- und Feiertagen durchgehender Nachtverkehr (teilweise verkürzte Linienführung) line_last_extension 28.

It is 55.4 kilometres long and serves 47 stations. The line runs from Norderstedt Mitte via the city centre (Jungfernstieg and Hauptbahnhof Süd) to Volksdorf, where it divides into two branches to Ohlstedt and Großhansdorf. The first section between Kellinghusenstraße and Ohlsdorf was opened on 1 December 1914; in the following decades the line was gradually expanded, most recently extended to Norderstedt Mitte in 1996. ## Operator The operator is the [[organization_hamburger_hochbahn|Hamburger Hochbahn AG]]. ## History The first section of the U1 was put into electrical operation on 1 December 1914 between Kellinghusenstraße and Ohlsdorf. Via the Walddörferbahn the trains reached Großhansdorf in 1921; since 1925 the line has also run to Ohlstedt; in Volksdorf the U1 divides into these two branches to this day. Between 1960 and 1963 the line was completed through the city centre as far as Wandsbek-Gartenstadt. The Langenhorner Bahn was extended to Garstedt in 1969 and to Norderstedt Mitte on 28 September 1996. ## Stations Stations in operating direction (from Norderstedt Mitte to Großhansdorf/Ohlstedt).

It has 29 stations and a length of 20.7 km. The section between Potsdamer Platz and Zoologischer Garten belonged to the trunk line opened in 1902, the first Berlin U-Bahn; the section Pankow–Vinetastraße was last extended on 16 September 2000. The line was opened in several sections between 1902 and 2000; the oldest section of today's line belongs to the trunk line of 18 February 1902 (section Potsdamer Platz–Zoologischer Garten: 11 March 1902). ## Operator Operated by [[organization_bvg|Berlin Transport Company (BVG)]]. ## History The western part of today's U2 belongs to the trunk line of the Berlin U-Bahn opened on 15/18 February 1902 (section Potsdamer Platz–Zoologischer Garten from 11 March 1902); by 1929 the line had been extended to Ruhleben. After the construction of the Berlin Wall in 1961, the line's route was divided: the eastern section ran as line A of the BVB, the western section as line 2 of the BVG.

It has 24 stations and a length of 19.7 km. The section Wittenbergplatz–Krumme Lanke was opened on 12 October 1913 and last extended on 22 December 1929. In its present form the U3 has been running since 7 May 2018, when it was extended together with the U1 to Warschauer Straße; previously it terminated at Nollendorfplatz or Wittenbergplatz. ## Operator Operated by [[organization_bvg|Berlin Transport Company (BVG)]]. ## History The Wilmersdorf-Dahlem U-Bahn was built by the municipality of Deutsch-Wilmersdorf; the section Wittenbergplatz–Thielplatz went into operation on 12 October 1913, followed by the extension to Krumme Lanke on 22 December 1929. On 1 January 1928 the line passed into the ownership of the city of Berlin. Having operated under various designations (line AII, line 2, U1, U15), the line has borne the designation U3 since the timetable change in December 2004.

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.

Its eastern section (Warschauer Straße–Gleisdreieck) belonged to the first Berlin U-Bahn line opened in 1902 and is the oldest part of the network; this section mostly runs on elevated viaducts and passes the famous Oberbaum Bridge. The line opened on 18 February 1902 and has carried the designation "U1" since 1984. ## Operator Operated by [[organization_bvg|Berlin Transport Company (BVG)]]. ## History The line originates from the trunk line opened by the Berlin elevated railway company on 18 February 1902 (Stralauer Tor–Potsdamer Platz–Zoologischer Garten); the eastern section via the Oberbaum Bridge is the oldest part of the Berlin U-Bahn network. The western section to Uhlandstraße opened on 12 October 1913, and the Gleisdreieck–Wittenbergplatz section opened on 24 October 1926. During the construction of the Berlin Wall, the eastern end of the line only ran as far as Schlesische Straße until 1995; on 14 October 1995, trains again reached Warschauer Straße. Between 1993 and 2004, the Uhlandstraße–Warschauer Straße section ran under the designation U15, and from the December 2004 timetable change it regained the "U1" designation. ## Stations Stations from west to east: - Uhlandstraße - Kurfürstendamm - Wittenbergplatz - Nollendorfplatz - Kurfürstenstraße - Gleisdreieck - Möckernbrücke - Hallesches Tor - Prinzenstraße - Kottbusser Tor - Görlitzer Bahnhof - Schlesisches Tor - Warschauer Straße /concepts/ubahn-berlin-u1.html en zh ar de en es fr hi id it ja ko ms nl pt ru th tr vi zh-hant metro_line en 525 50 50001 1000 /en/search-524.xml /en/search-526.xml
