The Austrian capital can be proud of having one of Europe´s best public transport systems. Besides the ever-growing U-Bahn network, the city boasts one of the world´s most extensive tramway networks. The system is complemented by the Badner Bahn (Wiener Lokalbahn) and the S-Bahn operated by the ÖBB, so for the railway enthusiast there is a lot to explore.
This book includes everything you want to know about the history of the Vienna U-Bahn, from its origin as a steam-hauled Stadtbahn in 1898 up to the recent U1 extension to Oberlaa, and the city´s tram network (including the underground tram sections), with the evolution of the Badner Bahn and the S-Bahn as well as all the current rolling stock covered too.
