Editing Lake Zurich (section)

==Transportation==
The main transportation nodes around the lake are Zurich and — given the presence of the [[Seedamm]] causeway — [[Pfäffikon, Schwyz|Pfäffikon]] and [[Rapperswil]]. Besides [[Quaibrücke, Zurich|Quaibrücke]] in Zurich and the Seedamm, there are no bridges across the lake. In addition, the towns of [[Meilen]] and [[Horgen]] are connected by a [[Zürichsee-Fähre Horgen–Meilen|car ferry]].

===Trams and buses===
Bus routes on the western shore are operated by [[Zimmerberg Bus]]. On the eastern side, the [[Verkehrsbetriebe Zürichsee und Oberland|VZO]] provides bus services along the lake shore and to the [[Zürcher Oberland]]. VZO also operates the urban bus routes in Rapperswil and [[Jona, Switzerland|Jona]]. At the northern end of the lake, in Zurich, public transport consists of [[trams in Zurich|trams]], [[trolleybuses in Zurich|trolleybuses]] and busses of [[Verkehrsbetriebe Zürich|VBZ]].

===Rail===
<u>Left bank</u>: The towns on the western and southern shores of Lake Zurich are linked by the [[Lake Zurich left bank railway]] line, which connects {{rws|Zürich HB}} with {{rws|Ziegelbrücke}}. This line is served by the {{ric|Zürich S-Bahn|2}}, {{ric|Zürich S-Bahn|8}}, {{ric|Zürich S-Bahn|24}} and {{ric|Zürich S-Bahn|25}} of the [[Zurich S-Bahn]] and [[InterRegio]] (IR) trains. It is also used by [[Transalpin|EuroCity]] (EC), [[Intercity Express]] (ICE), [[InterCity (Switzerland)|Intercity]] (IC) and [[Railjet]] (RJX) trains but they do not call at stations along the lake. At {{rws|Wädenswil}}, the line connects to the [[Wädenswil–Einsiedeln railway]] to [[Einsiedeln]], served by the {{ric|Zürich S-Bahn|13}}.

<u>Right bank</u>: Towns on the eastern shore of the lower lake (also known as the [[Goldcoast (Switzerland)|Goldcoast]], or {{lang|de|Goldküste}}) are connected by the [[Lake Zurich right bank railway]] line between Zürich HB and {{rws|Rapperswil}}. This line is served by [[S-Bahn]] services {{ric|Zürich S-Bahn|6}}, {{ric|Zürich S-Bahn|7}}, {{ric|Zürich S-Bahn|16}} and {{ric|Zürich S-Bahn|20}} of Zurich S-Bahn.

This line connects Rapperswil with {{rws|Schmerikon}} on the eastern end of the lake via {{rws|Blumenau}}. {{rws|Bollingen}} is a [[ghost station]] since 2004.
