The Berlin metro (U-Bahn)
The largest metro system in Germany
The Berlin metro (U-Bahn) is one of the most modern subway
systems in all of Europe, and the most extensive public transport
network of this type in Germany.
The Berlin metro system is well known for its high levels of
performance and its emphasis on environmental responsibility.
Its nine lines extend a total of 151.7 kilometers, and serve 170
stations.
The Berlin metro system is used by more than one million people
every day. Every year, its trains carry 400 million passengers. It
accounts for roughly half of the transport volume provided by the
Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe.
Facts and figures
The trains of the Berlin metro system clock around 400,000
kilometers every weekday. That adds up to 132 million kilometers
every year. We could also say that on average, the trains circle
the globe nine times every single day.
The average speed of the metro trains is 30.7 kilometers per hour.
During rush hour, trains currently run at 3 or 5-minute
intervals.
