Zürich S-Bahn
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Zürich S-Bahn (German: S-Bahn Zürich) system is a network of rail lines within the ZVV area (geographically, within the entire canton of Zürich, portions of Aargau, and minor outlying areas such as Rapperswil).
To say that the entire network went into operation in May 1990 would be misleading, for all lines were intact even before then. However, in May 1990, what did happen was that the rail lines affiliated with the ZVV became part of the of ZVV network.
The S-Bahn network is numbered, but numbering is rather sporadic, with several missing lines (e.g. S11, S20). The lines are numbered from the S1 to the S43.

Previous lines in operation:
- S1 was the old number of line S21. It was renamed after the opening of the S1 line of the Lucerne-Zug network to avoid confusion.
- An S31 used to exist. It used to run at least across the Seedamm, between Rapperswil and Pfäffikon SZ.
Projected future lines:
- S15: Affoltern am Albis - Zürich Main Station - Zürich Stadelhofen - Uster - Wetzikon - Rapperswil (planned for 2006)
