Frankfurt U-Bahn underground
Das U-Bahnnetz in Frankfurt ist 65 km lang, wurde 1968 eröffnet und hat insgesamt 86 Stationen, von denen 27 unterirdisch sind. Technisch handelt es sich eher um eine Stadtbahn, da die Linien auch teilweise im Straßenbereich unterwegs sind und den Individualverkehr kreuzen.
The underground network in Frankfurt is 65 km long and has some 86 stations of which 27 are beneath the surface. Opening was in 1968. Technically the underground is more a LRV (light rail vehicle) – system as the lines are also crossing streets at the same level and some stations are like stops of tramways.
These lines are also known as A-line. The track length is around 35 km.
On these lines vehicles of type U4 and U5 are in service. The service started in 1968 with type U2 vehicles.
