metro, LRT and tramway
The Vienna (Wien) subway opened in 1898, part of which was a private railway
for the Kaiser. It ran old steam trains, much in the fasion of the
London tube. It was electrified in 1925, but much of the system was
destroyed in the second world war.
The system currently consists of 65.6 km, 6 lines and 76 stations. All lines
are heavy metro except for line U6, which is light rail. Tram lines 6, 62,
18 and 65 and the Wiener Lokalbahn all share
a 1.2 km tram tunnel.
