Krefeld is connected to the [[Deutsche Bahn]] network with several stations, including its main station, [[Krefeld Hauptbahnhof]]. They are served by [[Intercity (Deutsche Bahn)|Intercity]], [[Regional-Express]] and [[Regionalbahn]] trains. The [[Düsseldorf]]-based [[Rheinbahn]] operates a [[Stadtbahn]] service to the centrally located Rheinstraße stop. This line was the first electric [[inter-city rail]] line in Europe, established in 1898, and commonly called the [[K-Bahn]] because of the letter "K" used to denote the trains to Krefeld. Nowadays, in the [[Verkehrsverbund Rhein-Ruhr|VRR]] notation, it is called U76, with the morning and afternoon express trains numbered as U70, the line number there coloured red instead of the usual blue used for [[Rapid transit in Germany#U-Bahn|U-Bahn]] lines. The term ''K-Bahn'', however, prevails in common usage.

The city of Krefeld itself operates [[Trams in Krefeld|four tramway]] and several [[bus]] lines under the umbrella of [[SWK MOBIL]], a city-owned company. Since 2010, 19 of the oldest trams of the type [[Duewag]] GT8 were replaced by modern barrier-free trams of the type [[Bombardier Flexity Outlook]]. SWK Mobil owns an option to buy another 19 trams of the same type to replace the last 19 Duewag M8 trams. The whole tram fleet will then be barrier-free. Next to that the city plans to extend the line 044 in Krefeld-Hüls to connect the northern district of Hüls with the Krefeld downtown area.
