The Köln Stadtbahn is a light rail system in the German city of
Köln (Cologne), including several surrounding cities of the Köln
Bonn Region (Bergisch Gladbach, Bonn, Bornheim, Brühl, Frechen,
Hürth, Leverkusen-Schlebusch, Wesseling). The term Stadtbahn
denotes a system that encompasses elements of trams as well as
an underground railway network (U-Bahn) and interurban rail,
even including three lines that are licensed as heavy rail and
used by freight trains as well as Stadtbahn vehicles. Two of
these lines connect the Köln Stadtbahn to the Bonn Stadtbahn.
These lines (16 and 18) are jointly operated by both cities'
transport authorities, resulting in both systems and the lines
connecting them sometimes collectively referred to as Stadtbahn
Rhein-Sieg. The Köln Stadtbahn is operated by the Kölner
Verkehrsbetriebe (KVB) and the Bonn Stadtbahn is operated by the
Stadtwerke Bonn (SWB - City of Bonn Utilities Division). The KVB
and SWB are members of the Verkehrsverbund Rhein-Sieg (VRS -
Rhein-Sieg Transit Authority), formed in 1987 to consolidate the
transit authorities in the metropolitan Cologne area and operate
a joint fare structure. There are 38 underground stations, 4
more are currently under construction.
