HAMBURG COMPLETES THE FIRST STAGE OF U-BAHN CONSTRUCTION

With the opening of the complex central section of Line U2, the U-bahn construction programme launched in 1955 is now complete. Work continues on the cross-town S-bahn link, which is closely integrated with the U-bahn and should be opened in 1975. Excellent interchange between the two rail systems in the central area is complemented by well-planned bus feeders further out, and D. Scott Hellewell explains how this high level of integration results from the establishment of a common policy-making body (HVV) in 1965.
