Frankfurt U-Bahn, Light rail network in Frankfurt, Germany.
The Frankfurt U-Bahn is a rapid transit system that operates both underground and above ground, running nine lines across approximately 90 stations. The network connects central Frankfurt with suburban areas while allowing passengers to switch between different elevation levels seamlessly.
Operations began in 1968, launching a new era of mass transit for the rapidly growing metropolitan region. Since then, the network has continuously expanded and become the backbone of Frankfurt's urban mobility.
Art installations in the stations tell the story of Frankfurt's transformation from a medieval town into an international finance hub. These works make traveling through different neighborhoods feel like moving through the city's changing identity.
Trains depart every two to five minutes during peak hours in the city center, ensuring frequent connections. Between 1:00 AM and 4:00 AM, night buses take over the service for late-night travel.
The system mixes underground metro sections with surface tram operations, a feature that sets it apart from typical subway systems. This hybrid approach allows it to serve both densely built city areas and sprawling suburbs efficiently.
