Trams in Essen
The Essen tramway network (German: Straßenbahnnetz Essen) is a 52.4-kilometer (32.6 mi) network of tramways forming part of the public transport system in Essen, a city in the federal state of North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. Parts of the system also serve the neighbouring city of Gelsenkirchen.
Opened in 1893, the network has been operated since 1954 by Ruhrbahn (formerly Essener Verkehrs-AG), and is integrated in the Verkehrsverbund Rhein-Ruhr (VRR).
The network is complemented by the three light rail lines of the Essen Stadtbahn.
As of November 2010[update], the 52.4-kilometer (32.6 mi) tram network consisted of the following seven lines:
Sections with shorter headways in Bold, sections with longer headways in italics.
1 During rush hour via Hollestraße to Steele, at shoulder times only to Hollestraße. and in off peak times Rathaus Essen to Essen Hbf.
2 Line is operated jointly by Ruhrbahn/BOGESTRA (almost exclusively with Ruhrbahn rolling stock).
