"four U-Bahn systems"

That doesn't sound right. NRW also has U-Bahns in cities like Köln, Düsseldorf, and cities in the Ruhrgebiet.

https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/U-Bahn-Linie_35_(Bochum) (which is not to be confused with a tram/Straßenbahn which the city also has https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trams_in_Bochum/Gelsenkirchen)

If they are not counted just because there's no agreement on how to call them, then I'd rather say that one should write "there are U-Bahn and Stadtbahn lines in several cities" without stating a specific number, because saying there are only "four" is somewhat of a misrepresentation of the actual situation.

Wuppertal?

Does Wuppertal fit somewhere on here? I know it's not a conventional system, but it is a grade separated rapid transit system that servesbtge city. It's not like it's done tourist line. Rckania (talk) 16:23, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
