Frankfurt (Oder) Tramway

The Frankfurt (Oder) tramway network (German: Straßenbahnnetz Frankfurt (Oder)) is a network of tramways forming part of the public transport system in Frankfurt (Oder), a town in the federal state of Brandenburg, Germany, on the Oder River, at the German-Polish border.

Opened in 1898, the network presently consists of five lines. It is operated by Stadtverkehrsgesellschaft mbH Frankfurt (Oder) [de] (SVF), and integrated in the Verkehrsverbund Berlin-Brandenburg (VBB).

Lines

Line 1 runs from the new housing development of Neuberesinchen through the city centre to the stadium.

Line 2 connects the university campuses (the main building, the auditorium and the Marion Gräfin Dönhoff building) with the speech centre in the Witzlebenstraße and extends to the fairgrounds.

Line 3 is a booster line for line 4 on weekdays. It operates Monday to Friday from the European University via the Südring to Kopernikusstraße, and, in rush hour, continues to the Technology Park and the hospital in the suburb of Markendorf (Ort) at 20-minute intervals.

Line 4, a main line, runs from the Lebus-suburb in Frankfurt's north via the railway station and the Südring, past the new solar factories, to Markendorf (Ort).

Line 5 is a tangential line - it "bypasses" the city centre, from Neuberesinchen via the station to the fairgrounds. However, it connects at Dresdener Platz or the station with lines towards the city centre. On weekdays, it is operated every 20 minutes by KT4Dms running in pairs, or a single KT4Dm, or a low-floor vehicle.
