Freiburg S-Bahn

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The S-Bahn Freiburg is a service concept in the canton of Friborg , which will be introduced in the period from 2011 to 2018 [outdated] by the Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) and the Friborg Transport Authority (TPF). Line numbers were introduced from the timetable change on December 14, 2014. Before that, all lines with the designation Regio were on the way.

History and future

In a first stage (2012), Bulle was newly developed every half hour, by means of direct trains from Bulle via Friborg to Bern . This required expansion, particularly on the Bulle - Romont line . In a second stage (2015), the half-hourly service will be introduced on the Freiburg - Romont and Freiburg - Yverdon lines. From 2018 [obsolete] all lines to and from Freiburg should run every half hour: The line from Freiburg to Murten / Morat - Ins will follow in 2018. Infrastructure adjustments are also necessary for this expansion stage. The first stage causes infrastructure costs of a good 7 million francs , the second 40–50 million. In addition, TPF and SBB each want to invest CHF 100 million in new rolling stock.

The S-Bahn Friborg / Freiburg is currently (status: timetable 14/15) with 8 S-Bahn lines and 1 RE line. On certain sections, several lines complement each other at half-hourly intervals.
