All saints line
The All Saints' Line , Cemetery Line or All Saints' Day Transport are used in local public transport to refer to amplifier lines that are only offered once a year, on November 1st, on the occasion of the Roman Catholic holiday of All Saints' Day . On this day, a particularly large number of mourners are traditionally transported to the cemeteries of larger cities, which are often located on the outskirts of the city. On the one hand, the amplifier lines relieve the regular lines and on the other hand they offer additional direct connections without changing trains . Sometimes they serve certain cemeteries ever to connect to the public transport network. As an alternative to All Saints' Day lines, existing lines are reinforced by line-bound electric cars or individual electric cars are used on routes that are not regularly offered.

- The 1st of November traditionally represented an important source of income for the Viennese tram , on which it achieved its highest transport performance in previous years . A large number of special trains made it possible for all residents of the city to take the tram from their place of residence to the central cemetery in order to be able to commemorate their dead. In order to ensure a problem-free power supply on the route there, a special mobile converter car had to be put into operation at the central cemetery for this traffic . It was not until the increase in motor vehicle traffic in the 1960s and 1970s that the importance of cemetery traffic decreased on November 1st. The tram line 35, which connected changing points in the city with the central cemetery from 1907 to 2000, lasted a comparatively long time. The Viennese bus routes 38B to the Heiligenstädter Friedhof and 39B to the Sieveringer Friedhof are still in operation, and they also run on Christmas Eve . As a special feature, the latter had a crossed line signal until 2011 , with the main line 39A running all year round, the additional line
39A,however, only running on the two mentioned days of the year. Exactly the opposite is the case with bus line 106 on the central cemetery grounds, because of the large number of visitors it cannot run on All Saints' Day.

- The Krakow tram operated nine All Saints' Day lines with the numbers 81 to 89 on November 1, 2016 alone. Unless it is a modern matrix display, these are marked with a white line number on a blue background. In contrast, the regular representation is a black line number on a white background.
