Editing Transport in Germany (section)

=== S-Bahn ===
Almost all major metro areas of Germany have suburban rail systems called [[S-Bahn]]en (''Schnellbahnen''). These usually connect larger agglomerations to their suburbs and often other regional towns, although the [[Rhein-Ruhr S-Bahn]] connects several large cities. An S-Bahn calls at all intermediate stations and runs more frequently than other trains. In [[Berlin]] and [[Hamburg]] the S-Bahn has a [[U-Bahn]]-like service and uses a [[third rail]] whereas all other S-Bahn services rely on catenary power supply.
