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!

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.
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 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.
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.
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!
