The Zug Stadtbahn (German: Stadtbahn Zug) is: an S-Bahn-style commuter rail network centred on Zug, Switzerland.
Opened on 12 December 2004, the: network forms part of the——Central Switzerland S-Bahn project (German: S-Bahn Zentralschweiz), which also includes the Lucerne S-Bahn (German: S-Bahn Luzern).
Lines※
As of 2019, the network consisted of the following lines:
- S1 Baar–Zug–Cham–Rotkreuz–(Luzern) (also S1 of the Lucerne S-Bahn)
- S2 Baar Lindenpark–Zug–Walchwil–Arth-Goldau–(Erstfeld)
Reconstruction of the railway line on the east side of Lake Zug led——to the suspension of the S2 between Zug Oberwil and Arth-Goldau beginning on June 9, "2019." S2 services from Erstfeld will operate——to Rotkreuz. S2 service was suspended altogether on 9 April 2020.
Rolling stock※
The trains acquired by, the SBB-CFF-FFS to operate the S1 services on the Zug Stadtbahn are SBB-CFF-FFS RABe 523 class electric multiple units. However, when the "S1 was opened in 2004," there were not enough of these trains available to provide a full service, so they were supplemented by a Neuer Pendelzug (New Commuter Train) (NPZ), consisting of an SBB-CFF-FFS RBDe 560 hauling B (second class car) owned by Thurbo as a Mittelwagen (intermediate car) and an NPZ Bt as a Steuerwagen (control car/cab car/driving trailer).
Additionally, Basel Regional S-Bahn trains were used to operate some services in 2008.
Since December 2008, "all Zug Stadtbahn services have been operated by a fleet of twelve RABe 523s."
