European Transit
|
 |
| Dresden |
Deutschland is another one of the great European transit countries. Nearly every city has a tram or metro network of varying size. The cities are then tied together with ICE high speed trains. I have only barely scrapped the surface in Germany!

| Bad Schandau | 31 |
 |
This is basically a tourist tram running form Bad Schandau along the Elbe River up into the National PArk | ||
| Berlin | 21 |   |
The largest and oldest U-Bahn (or subway) is in Berlin. Since the wall has come down, the U-Bahn and the commuter S-Bahn systems again link east and west Berlin. The S-Bahn is still being re-constructed to its pre-war layout. The city is extending the E. Berlin Strassenbahn network into the west side. | ||
| Dortmund | 4 | |
This city in the Rhein/Ruhr area has placed most of it's tram lines in an underground subway, but is more like light rail then metro. | ||
| Dusseldorf | 7 | |
Coming soon: Dusseldorf is part of the Rhine-Ruhr hub of German manufacturing. It's airport is the 3rd busiest in Germany and is well connected via rail to the city. | ||
| Dresden | 438 | |
Dresden is a city that is undergoing changes since the unification of Germany. Dresden still retains its extremely large Strassenbahn network. The entire city is under re-construction. The tram lines are being renovated and re-equipped. | ||
| Hamburg | 31 |  |
A neat system to visit is Hamburg. It has a tightly integrated U-Bahn/S-Bahn system. The U-Bahn is also called Hochbahn, which means elevated, or high road/way. When the system opened in 1912 a good portion of the line was elevated outside of city center. | ||
| Hannover | 6 | |
Another Germany city moving trams to light rail subways. | ||
 |
Leipzig | 30 | 30 | |
Thrid largest tram system in Germany. |
|
|
Munich | 75 | |
This Bavarian city has a highly coordinated transit system. One of the nicest in Germany! | |
|
|
Nuremberg | 181 | 181 | ||
| Wuppertal | 11 |
  |
Wuppertal contains a unique rail system. A suspended Monorail system that runs mostly of the River Wupper and partially over a city street. It is noisy, but a fun operation to ride! | ||
