The term "Stadtbahn" refers to a type of urban rail transit system commonly found in German-speaking countries. It typically operates on a combination of street-level tracks and dedicated rail lines, providing efficient public transportation within cities. Stadtbahns are designed to connect suburban areas with city centers, making it easier for residents to commute. Stadtbahns often feature modern, low-floor trains that allow for easy access, especially for individuals with mobility challenges. They are integrated with other forms of public transport, such as buses and trams, enhancing overall connectivity in urban areas. Cities like Cologne and Düsseldorf have well-developed Stadtbahn networks.
