Editing Dortmund (section)

=== Public transportation ===
For public transportation, the city has an extensive [[Dortmund Stadtbahn|Stadtbahn]] and bus system. The Stadtbahn has eight lines (U41 to U47 and U49) serving Dortmund and the large suburb of [[Lünen]] in the north. The trains that run on the line are in fact lightrails as many lines travel along a track in the middle of the street instead of underground further from the city centre. The minimum service interval is 2.5 minutes, although the usual pattern is that each line runs at 5 to 10 minute intervals. On Sundays the trains run at a 15-minute interval. In April 2008, the newly constructed east–west underground light rail line was opened, completing the underground service in the city centre and replacing the last [[tram]]s on the surface.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ruhrnachrichten.de/nachrichten/nrw/art1544,243917|title=Neuer U-Bahn-Tunnel: keine Straßenbahn mehr in Dortmunder City|access-date=2008-08-28|publisher=Oliver Volmerich|date=25 April 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080914092307/http://www.ruhrnachrichten.de/nachrichten/nrw/art1544,243917|archive-date=14 September 2008|url-status=dead|df=dmy-all}}</ref>

A number of bus lines complete the Dortmund public transport system. [[Night service (public transport)|Night buses]] replace Stadtbahn services between 1:30 am and 7:30 am on weekends and public holidays. The central junction for the night bus service is Reinoldikirche in the city centre, where all night bus lines start and end.

The [[H-Bahn]] at [[Technical University of Dortmund]] is a hanging monorail built specifically to shuttle passengers between the university's two campuses,<ref>{{cite web|title=H-Bahn – Route map|url=http://www.h-bahn.info/en/index.php|access-date=2009-06-03}}</ref> which are now also flanked by research laboratories and other high-tech corporations and startups. A nearly identical monorail system transfers passengers at [[Düsseldorf Airport]].<ref>{{cite web|title=H-Bahn – Sky-Train Düsseldorf|url=http://www.h-bahn.info/en/skytrain.php|access-date=2009-06-03|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070813110659/http://www.h-bahn.info/en/skytrain.php|archive-date=13 August 2007|url-status=dead}}</ref>
