Moving Hamburg in an eco-friendly way

Take a closer look at the future of mobility

From the very first U-Bahn line opened back in 1912 to the very first emission-free buses and autonomous vehicles – HOCHBAHN has been moving Hamburg forward for well over 100 years. Our vision of comfortable, superbly networked and environmentally friendly mobility for Hamburg drives us every day and makes us the engine for innovation. Yesterday, today and tomorrow: Find out here all about our current projects including the new U5 line, digital ticketing and Hamburg’s e-buses. 


U5 Route

Underground expansion for Hamburg

U3, U4, U5: HOCHBAHN is extensively expanding its underground network to ensure that the mobility revolution succeeds and people can get around the city more quickly.

Automation U-Bahn100

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.

Barrier-free expansion

More than 90 percent of our 93 underground stops have now been refurbished, have (partially) elevated platforms and a tactile guidance system for blind and visually impaired people. Now a few more "heavyweights" are to follow on the road to accessibility.

hvv Any

No more worrying about the right fare and the cheapest ticket - our hvv Any project promises nothing less than this ticket revolution. In the future, customers will be able to check in quickly and easily via app when they start their journey in the hvv and travel straight away.
