The city has two [[rapid transit]] systems: the U-Bahn and the S-Bahn, as well as an above-ground tram system. Information about the U- and S-Bahn can be found on the website of the [[Rhein-Main-Verkehrsverbund|RMV]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.rmv.de/coremedia/generator/RMV/Sprachen/SPRACH__ART__en.html |title=Rhein-Main Transport Association |publisher=RMV.DE |date=24 November 2010 |access-date=10 April 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100727002756/http://www.rmv.de/coremedia/generator/RMV/Sprachen/SPRACH__ART__en.html |archive-date=27 July 2010}}</ref>

====S-Bahn====
{{main|Rhine-Main S-Bahn}}
Nine [[S-Bahn]] lines (S1 to S9) connect Frankfurt with the densely populated [[Frankfurt Rhein-Main Region|Rhine Main Region]]. Most routes have at least 15-minute service during the day, either by one line running every 15 minutes, or by two lines servicing one route at a 30-minute interval. All lines, except line S7, run through the [[Frankfurt City Tunnel]] and serve stations at [[Frankfurt Ostendstraße station|Ostendstraße]], [[Frankfurt (Main) Konstablerwache station|Konstablerwache]], [[Frankfurt (Main) Hauptwache station|Hauptwache]], [[Taunusanlage station|Taunusanlage]] and [[Frankfurt Central Station]]. When leaving the city the S-Bahn travels above ground. It provides access to the trade fair (S3, S4, S5, S6), the airport (S8, S9), the stadium (S7, S8, S9) and nearby cities such as [[Wiesbaden]], [[Mainz]], [[Darmstadt]], [[Rüsselsheim]], [[Hanau]], [[Offenbach am Main]], [[Oberursel]], [[Bad Homburg]], [[Kronberg]], [[Friedberg, Hesse|Friedberg]] and smaller towns that are on the way. The S8/S9 runs 24/7.

====U-Bahn====

{{main|Frankfurt U-Bahn}}
The [[U-Bahn]] has nine lines (U1 to U9) serving Frankfurt and the larger suburbs of Bad Homburg and Oberursel in the north. The trains that run on the U-Bahn are in fact [[light rail]] (''[[Stadtbahn]]'') as many lines travel along a track in the middle of the street instead of underground. The minimum service interval is 2.5 minutes, although the usual pattern is that each line runs at 7.5- to 10-minute intervals, which produce between 3- and 5-minute intervals on downtown tracks shared by more than one line.

====Tram====
{{main|Trams in Frankfurt am Main}}
Frankfurt has ten tram lines (11, 12, 14 to 21), with trams arriving usually every 10 minutes. Many sections are served by two lines, combining to run at 5-minute intervals during rush-hour. Trams only run above ground and serve more stops than the U-Bahn or the S-Bahn.

====Bus====
{{main|Public transport in Frankfurt am Main#Bus}}
A number of bus lines complete the Frankfurt public transport system. Night buses replace U-Bahn and tram services between 1:30&nbsp;am and 3:30&nbsp;am.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.nachtbus-frankfurt.de |title=Nightbus Frankfurt Rheinmain |publisher=Nachtbus-frankfurt.de |access-date=10 April 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110430194211/http://www.nachtbus-frankfurt.de/ |archive-date=30 April 2011 |url-status=dead}}</ref> The central junction for the night bus service is at the downtown square of Konstablerwache, where all night bus lines start and end.
