The Zürich S-Bahn (German: S-Bahn Zürich) system is a network of rail lines within the ZVV area (geographically, within the entire canton of Zürich, portions of the cantons Aargau, Schaffhausen, Schwyz, Thurgau and St. Gallen.

The entire ZVV S-Bahn network went into operation in May 1990, although many of the lines were present beforehand.

The S-Bahn network is numbered, but numbering is rather sporadic, with several missing lines (e.g. S19, S20). The lines are numbered from the S1 to the S43.

[edit] Previous lines in operation

  • S1 was the old number of line S21. It was renamed after the opening of the S1 line of the Lucerne-Zug network to avoid confusion.
  • An S31 used to exist. It used to run at least across the Seedamm, between Rapperswil and Pfäffikon SZ.
  • S43 ran between Rüti and Wald (near Rapperswil) and had only three stations and was in fact a limited service of S43. It has been replaced by a bus route.

Projected future lines: Several lines are projected with the opening of the 3rd underground station at Zurich HB (2013). Map
