Berlin S-Bahn

Commuter trains in Berlin are called S-Bahns (fast trains).  They typically operate at or above grade.

Each S-Bahn line is assigned an identifier that include the letter "S" followed by a number (e.g. S1, S2).  There are approximately 16 lines in total.

Five of the S-Bahn lines follow the same route through the city centre (i.e. from Westkruz Station to Ostkreuz Station).
