Stuttgart has a [[light rail]] system known as the [[Stuttgart Stadtbahn]]. In the city center and densely built-up areas, the Stadtbahn runs underground. Stations are signposted with a 'U' symbol, which stands for ''unabhängig'' (independent), due to the system being mostly separated from road traffic.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Germany |first=Stuttgarter Nachrichten, Stuttgart |title=U für Unabhängig: Stuttgart als Stadtbahn-Baustelle |url=https://www.stuttgarter-nachrichten.de/inhalt.u-fuer-unabhaengig-stuttgart-als-stadtbahn-baustelle.85721593-65f7-4af1-ace4-4ab8de2a6fb3.html |access-date=2024-01-20 |website=stuttgarter-nachrichten.de |language=de}}</ref> Until 2007, Stuttgart also operated regular trams. Stuttgart also has a large bus network. Stadtbahn lines and buses are operated by the [[Stuttgarter Straßenbahnen AG]] (SSB). The outlying suburbs of Stuttgart and nearby towns are served by a suburban railway system called the [[Stuttgart S-Bahn]], using tracks supplied by the national [[Deutsche Bahn]] AG (DB).

A peculiarity of Stuttgart is the ''[[Stuttgart Rack Railway|Zahnradbahn]]'', a [[rack railway]] that is powered by electricity and operates between Marienplatz in the southern inner-city district of the city and the district of Degerloch. It is the only urban rack railway in Germany. Stuttgart also has a ''[[Standseilbahn Stuttgart|Standseilbahn]]'', a [[funicular]] railway that operates in the Heslach area and the forest cemetery (Waldfriedhof). In [[Killesbergpark|Killesberg Park]], on a prominent hill overlooking the city, there is the [[Killesberg Railway|miniature railway]] run by diesel (and on weekends with steam).
