      4/5: Transit connections. The S-Bahn connects at multiple locations to U-Bahn (subway) and Tram, and at nearly every station to bus. These are not incidental connections – both bus and rail networks were deliberately planned to meet S-Bahn stations.pic.twitter.com/oCBuZmRqVt

      In both the urban core and in the suburbs, these connections are designed to be as seamless as possible – underground concourses, transit centers under large roofs, and bus bays right next to station platforms.pic.twitter.com/aBZLlI2jH3

      5/5. Fare integration. This is what has made these transit connections work since the 1970s. One ticket covers all modes. A trip from A to B costs the same by S-Bahn, U-Bahn, tram or bus. Transfers are included. And everything is proof of payment, so there are no faregates.pic.twitter.com/all10rAytf

      Together, these 5 things are transformative. The S-Bahn improved suburban work trips into Downtown, created a new urban subway line, made it much easier for people in the suburbs to go downtown for education, shopping, and leisure, even made it easier to move within the suburbs.pic.twitter.com/XKVGdfaDvE

      There are park-and-ride lots. But most of the riders arrive on foot, on a bike, on a bus, on a subway, or on a tram. The S-Bahn isn’t niche transit; it’s basic all-purpose transit across the metro area. This is commuter rail technology, but not used just as “commuter rail.”pic.twitter.com/VP69WvYkyX

      This is what you get when you stop thinking about “commuter rail” and start thinking about “regional rail” – the S-Bahn is a new way of thinking about transit more than it is new technology. That way of thinking is very relevant to the United States.pic.twitter.com/m4x7GkUhoK

      Consider NYC – it has a higher density around commuter rail stations than Munich does, and high capacity infrastructure in place. With new equipment + new fares, LIRR, NJT, and Metro-North could operate S-Bahn like service, and that would benefit hundreds of thousands of riders.pic.twitter.com/UjIdbNGRO8

      We tend to focus a little too much on transit infrastructure. That matters, but a good transit system combines infrastructure, service, and connectivity. That’s what the S-Bahn does, and it’s hard to imagine Munich without it.pic.twitter.com/KePIXRsCso

      The same idea has been applied elsewhere — Frankfurt, Stuttgart, Paris, Tokyo, Copenhagen, London.pic.twitter.com/3fSYKi0bTG

      definitely interested, great thread--how did you make the maps detailing frequency differences? is there a collection of such maps somewhere online?

          I went through schedules manually (with help from @khoven.) The background maps are from my book; I’ve mapped all US metros with rail/BRT for that.

          very glad to see you used "noon on a weekday" to establish the wait time--I've been meaning to make similar frequency maps for Japanese railways, and settled on the same benchmark 😅

          It’s easy in Germany, where they use clockface schedules. One realizes doing this just how weird US rail schedules are.
