The Ringbahn (German for: Circle line) is a 37.5 km (23.3 mi) long railway line around the city centre of Berlin in Germany. The line is made up of the S-Bahn ring and the freight ring. S-Bahn service on the line is carried out by the S 41 and S 42 lines, with 400,000 passengers a day.[1] Due to its distinctive shape, the line is colloquially called "Hundekopf" (dog's head).[2]
The Ringbahn also constitutes the outer border of the "A" zone for the Verkehrsverbund Berlin-Brandenburg transport association's fare structure, and will also be the outer border of the road traffic control zone for particulate matter control that is to be established by 2008.
