Dusseldorf metro: diagram, photo, description
The Düsseldorf metro is a metro tram system that includes a city tram and an electric train, served by the system «Rhine-Ruhr». In total, there are seven metro lines in the city and its environs, on which about a hundred stations and stops are open. Of these, 17 are underground. In a year, the Dusseldorf metro carries at least 215 million passengers, and the total length of all routes is almost 70 kilometers.
In the city center, the Düsseldorf Metro Tram is an underground track. The tunnel here is a four-track. All metro lines have their own color designation on the diagrams. Some lines are depicted as going almost side by side. In reality, the rails run along parallel streets, but at a sufficient distance from each other..
The first section of the metro tram was commissioned in 1981. He joined Kennedydamm and Opernhaus. Then the builders solemnly handed over to the townspeople the section from the center to the Oberkassel Bridge. Dusseldorf is connected by metro lines with the international airport, which allows arriving residents and guests of the city to get to the historic center and residential quarters without interference and transfers. In 2015, the construction of the line is expected to be completed, which will link Wehrhahn and Bilk. Today, the Düsseldorf metro system covers almost the entire city and allows you to get to any point on the map without interference..
Metro tram cars are used for information «creeping line» and LED boards, all announcements are made in German.
