The U-Bahn (underground train) and S-Bahn (suburban express train) are usually, albeit not always, the fastest. While the former mostly covers the city centre, the latter operates above ground and includes the outskirts for commuter traffic. These modes of public transport in Germany are usually supplemented by tramlines (Straßenbahn) and buses.The tram (Straßenbahn or Tram) is probably the oldest form of local public transport in Germany, dating back to the time of horse-drawn public carriages. However, it is still around and supplements the bus and subway system in quite a few urban centers. Trams are often a bit faster than buses since they run on their own tracks in the streets.
