An underground for Hamburg every 100 seconds

THE AUTOMATION OF HAMBURG'S UNDERGROUND SYSTEM STARTS

Great things are coming to the east of Hamburg. Because our promise is: an underground every 100 seconds! This will be made possible by the automation of the first Hamburg underground lines U2 and U4 in the east of the city. In concrete terms: this means that we will be able to offer our passengers a great deal more in the future. In concrete terms:

At the end of 2027, this will initially be implemented on the main line of the U2 and U4 between the Horner Rennbahn and Jungfernstieg stops. This will increase capacity on the busiest section of the Hamburg underground (up to 90,000 passengers per day) by up to 50 percent. The current minimum interval is 2.5 minutes (150 seconds).
