96-524: A debate in the cantonal Council on 19 June 1978. Alternative "eastern" and "western" options were discussed. Under the western option the northern end of the central tunnel from the Hauptbahnhof would have connected with Oerlikon , while in the eastern option it would have tunneled under the Zürichberg and ended near Dietlikon . The cantonal Council chose the eastern option by 85 votes to 36. At
144-471: A new route between the Hauptbahnhof and Oerlikon station . Unlike the existing two routes between the stations, the Weinberg tunnel would approach the Hauptbahnhof from the east, allowing trains to run between the western and northern lines without bypassing the central station. This route was known as Durchmesserlinie Zürich , and was for use of both long-distance and S-Bahn trains. The project also included
192-463: A project to improve the railway in the 1950s. Because it was not used by either long-distance passenger or freight trains, improvements in local services were possible. Double track sections were built between Kuesnacht and Herrliberg and between Stäfa and Uerikon , along with new stations. The main problem was finance. Development of the line would only serve local interests and would not lead to increased revenue for Swiss Federal Railways (SFR). At
240-611: A referendum on 29 November 1981, Zurich's voters approved by a two-thirds majority a loan of CHF 520 million for the construction of the core of the S-Bahn. The following changes were made: On 27 May 1990, the S-Bahn was brought into operation and the Zürcher Verkehrsverbund (Zurich Transport Network) began operations. For the first time, one could travel on trains, buses and trams with just one ticket. Despite "teething problems", passenger numbers increased rapidly. Since

864-419: The S-Bahn. In the longer term, a vision for 2030 named Projekt S-Bahn 2G includes the development of two types of S-Bahn services and trains. Inner services will operate every 15 minutes, and will be provided by single-deck trains, so that passengers can embark and disembark quickly. Outer express services will operate every half-hour, stopping at all stations in the outer area but only at principal stations in
912-704: The S3 service was extended from Dietikon through the Heitersberg Tunnel to Aarau with a new station at Mellingen . On 10 December 2006, S15 was opened between Rapperswil and Birmensdorf following line improvements. It was extended from Birmensdorf to Affoltern am Albis on 9 December 2007. South of Zurich sections of the Sihltalbahn were doubled. On the rural feeder lines around Winterthur ( S33 to Schaffhausen , S35 to Wil and S41 to Bülach ) services were increased to run every half hour. The S8

The municipality after
1392-548: The former Glarner Sprinter , a two-hourly train service from Zürich Hauptbahnhof to Linthal , was replaced with a new hourly S-Bahn service, the S25 . These major changes resulted in a number of other changes, with service to various stations being provided by different lines. As of the December 2021 timetable change, 32 services comprise the Zurich S-Bahn network. The lines are numbered (2‒21, 23‒26, 29‒30, 33, 35‒36, 40‒42) using
1440-504: The inner area, and will be formed of double-deck stock in order to provide more seating for longer journeys. In September 2014 a study was published for the construction of a new rail tunnel and underground station serving the ETH Hönggerberg "Science City". The new tunnel would run directly between Hardbrücke and Regensdorf stations, as opposed to the indirect route via the existing Käferberg Tunnel and Oerlikon station that
1488-466: The line would have run above ground. The second part of the proposal was the " Zürichberg network", a line from Zürich Hauptbahnhof via a new tunnel under the Zürichberg to Dietlikon to the northeast (not to be confused with Dietikon , which lies to the west of Zurich). The proposed construction of an underground station in Museumstrasse on the north side of the Hauptbahnhof was intended to ease

1584-434: The night from Friday to Saturday and from Saturday to Sunday, there are nighttime S-Bahn services (designated SN followed by the route number) and nighttime bus services (designated N followed by the line number). Nighttime services operate from 1 o'clock until the early morning hours. The nighttime S-Bahn and bus routes form a network, which is different from the daytime network. Most SN services run hourly. As of December 2022,
1632-564: The opening of the S-Bahn, travel volumes have increased by about 60%. In several stages, S-Bahn services were expanded to a 380 kilometres (236 miles) rail network, and peak hour express trains were added. The first stage of the expansion addressed the chronic overcrowding of trains on the S12 route between Dietikon and Zurich, requiring improvements in the Limmat valley. The widening of the railway to four tracks between Dietikon and Killwangen allowed
1680-412: The owner of most of the railways. The SBB CFF FFS had insufficient resources for a substantial upgrade of commuter services. On the other hand, the canton of Zurich could not fund an alternative transport network. The first step towards cooperation came in 1978 with the establishment of a Transport Fund providing CHF 40 million annually for urban transport. The routes of today's S-Bahn were established in
1728-470: The partial completion resulted in significant changes to the Zurich S-Bahn. These changes included the diversion of lines S2 , S8 and S14 through the Weinberg Tunnel. These lines previously ran via Zürich Wipkingen station , and in order to prevent that station losing service, S24 was extended from Zürich Hauptbahnhof station via Wipkingen to Zürich Oerlikon station . At the same time,

With the exception of lines S13 , S17 , S18 , S26 , S29 , S30 , S33 , S35 , S36 , S40 , and S41 , all routes run through or terminate at Zurich main station . The S27 service between Siebnen-Wangen and Ziegelbrücke , operated by SOB during peak-hours, is neither part of the Zurich S-Bahn nor the St. Gallen S-Bahn network. Unless noted otherwise, all services operate every 30 minutes throughout
1872-425: The pressure on the Hauptbahnhof. On 20 May 1973 this proposal was rejected in a referendum, with the "no" vote as high as in the previous referendum. At the referendum, little opposition had been expressed against the proposed S-Bahn lines. Rail is a major element in Zurich's public transport system, and its upgrade required close collaboration between the canton of Zurich and Swiss Federal Railways (SBB CFF FFS),
1920-415: The remainder (1.2%) is non-productive (rivers, glaciers or mountains). In 1996 housing and buildings made up 6% of the total area, while transportation infrastructure made up the rest (2.7%). Of the total unproductive area, water (streams and lakes) made up 1.1% of the area. As of 2007 6.9% of the total municipal area was undergoing some type of construction. Bauma is situated in the upper Töss Valley at
1968-564: The separation of the S-Bahn from the long-distance and freight services. The new S3 service introduced as a result complemented the S12 service, to provide a train every 15 minutes on the route. At the same time the sections of the S9 route via Knonau were upgraded to allow services to be increased to each half hour. Services on the north side of Lake Zurich were increased with trains provided every 15 minutes by S6 , S7 and S16 services. A new station

2016-481: The single track tunnel to Letten station , then turning 180 degrees to reach the Hauptbahnhof. This line travelled 5 km to cover the 1.5 km distance between Stadelhofen and the Hauptbahnhof. The first step in developing Zurich's rail system which eventually led to the establishment of the S-Bahn was the establishment of the so-called Gold Coast Express (German: Goldküstenexpress ) on 26 May 1968 between Zurich Stadelhofen and Rapperswil via Meilen along
2064-564: The time the canton and cities affected could not fund improvements to an SFR line, so the law was changed to allow local contributions. The new Gold Coast Express service operated a regular schedule every half-hour, with the total journey time for the distance of 36 kilometres (22 miles) reduced from the previous 60 to 40 minutes. The most striking feature of the improved railway was the three-car claret-coloured RABDe 12/12 electric multiple units . These had good acceleration and braking performance and immediately became known as "Mirages", after

2160-476: The wealthy north shore of Lake Zurich , popularly known as the Gold Coast . This development came about because, after World War II , there was a rapid expansion of commuting to Zurich from the former wine-growing villages along the railway line, which originally opened in 1894. As a result, commuters complained that the trains were overcrowded, slow and often delayed. The canton of Zurich began to develop
2208-470: Was extended from Winterthur to Weinfelden , providing with the existing S30 services two trains an hour on the line. In addition, the S16 was extended every hour to Schaffhausen, stopping after Winterthur only at Andelfingen and Neuhausen am Rheinfall . Moreover, on the line from Winterthur to Wil a new station opened at Winterthur Hegi . Following a successful referendum, a project was established to create
2256-407: Was opened at Glanzberg between Dietikon and Schlieren. Under the second stage of expansion in December 2002, night trains were added to the S-Bahn. Since 2007, night trains provide a continuous 24-hour service from Friday morning until Sunday evening on some lines. The third stage expansion was completed in 2007. On 12 December 2004 (coinciding with the completion of the first stage of Rail 2000 ),
2304-494: Was opposed by the majority of the City Council and failed. The second motion proposed the establishment of a company to build and operate a Zurich U-Bahn . The city had already considered such a proposal and opposed it, on the basis that Zurich was not big enough for an underground railway, and it would cost too much. In a referendum on 14 February 1960, 69.8% of voters voted "no" to the proposal. Following further work and
