Bonn's central railway station, [[Bonn Hauptbahnhof]] is the city's main public transportation hub. It lies just outside the old town and near the central university buildings. It is served by regional ([[Cologne S-Bahn|S-Bahn]] and [[Regionalbahn]]) and long-distance ([[Intercity (Deutsche Bahn)|IC]] and [[Intercity-Express|ICE]]) trains. Daily, more than 67,000 people travel via Bonn Hauptbahnhof. In late 2016, around 80 long distance and more than 165 regional trains departed to or from Bonn every day.<ref name="general041116">{{cite news |url=http://www.general-anzeiger-bonn.de/bonn/stadt-bonn/Sanierung-geht-in-die-heiße-Phase-article3397749.html |title=Sanierung geht in die heiße Phase |work=[[General-Anzeiger (Bonn)|General-Anzeiger]] |date=4 November 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161105205334/http://www.general-anzeiger-bonn.de/bonn/stadt-bonn/Sanierung-geht-in-die-hei%C3%9Fe-Phase-article3397749.html |archive-date=5 November 2016 |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref name="ga.de">{{cite web |url=https://ga.de/bonn/stadt-bonn/der-hauptbahnhof-bonn-wird-saniert_aid-43091427 |work=[[General-Anzeiger (Bonn)|General-Anzeiger]] |date=12 May 2017 |title=Der Hauptbahnhof Bonn wird saniert |trans-title=Bonn Central Station is being renovated |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201201160203/https://ga.de/bonn/stadt-bonn/der-hauptbahnhof-bonn-wird-saniert_aid-43091427 |archive-date=1 December 2020 |language=de |author=Bettina Köhl }}</ref><ref name="db041116">{{cite web |url=http://www.deutschebahn.com/presse/duesseldorf/de/aktuell/presseinformationen/12647934/161107_schoene_aussichten.html |title=Schöne Aussichten im Hauptbahnhof Bonn |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161106105046/http://www.deutschebahn.com/presse/duesseldorf/de/aktuell/presseinformationen/12647934/161107_schoene_aussichten.html |archive-date=6 November 2016 |website=Deutsche Bahn |date=4 November 2016 |url-status=dead }}</ref> Another long-distance station, ([[Siegburg/Bonn station|Siegburg/Bonn]]), is located in the nearby town of [[Siegburg]] and serves as Bonn's station on the [[Köln–Frankfurt high-speed rail line|high-speed rail line between Cologne and Frankfurt]], offering faster connections to Southern Germany. It can be reached by Stadtbahn line 66 (approx. 25 minutes from central Bonn).

Bonn has a [[Stadtbahn]] light rail and a tram system. The [[Bonn Stadtbahn]] has 4 regular lines that connect the main north–south axis (centre to [[Bad Godesberg]]) and quarters east of the Rhine ([[Beuel]] and [[Oberkassel, Bonn|Oberkassel]]), as well as many nearby towns like [[Brühl (Rhineland)|Brühl]], [[Wesseling]], [[Sankt Augustin]], [[Siegburg]], [[Königswinter]], and [[Bad Honnef]]. All lines serve the Central Station and two lines continue to Cologne, where they connect to the [[Cologne Stadtbahn]]. The [[Trams in Bonn|Bonn tram]] system consists of two lines that connect closer quarters in the south, north and east of Bonn to the Central Station. While the Stadtbahn mostly has its own right-of-way, the tram often operates on general road lanes. A few sections of track are used by both systems. These urban rail lines are supplemented by a bus system of roughly 30 regular lines, especially since some parts of the city like [[Hardtberg]] and most of [[Bad Godesberg]] completely lack a Stadtbahn/Tram connection. Several lines offer night services, especially during the weekends. Bonn is part of the [[Verkehrsverbund Rhein-Sieg]] (''Rhine-Sieg Transport Association'') which is the public transport association covering the area of the [[Cologne/Bonn Region]].
