About
ÖBB S-Bahn, short for \Schnellbahn\" (rapid railway), is a suburban commuter rail network primarily serving metropolitan regions in Austria, operated by the Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB). It functions as a hybrid urban-suburban system, with some larger S-Bahn networks offering services similar to rapid transit. The Vienna S-Bahn, a key part of the network, has been in operation since 1962 and connects Vienna's surrounding areas with the city. It is integrated with the national railway system, sharing tracks with regional and other rail traffic. ÖBB S-Bahn utilizes various train types, including the ÖBB Cityjet, Talent, Desiro, and bi-level push-pull trains.
