Berlin's S-Bahn network consists of 16 lines served by frequent trains. The entire network of routes is 340 km long, 257 of which are in Berlin. The S3 line traverses the German capital from west to east, connecting Spandau with Erkner (the only S3 station outside Berlin), a city of 11,000 people bordering the capital on its eastern side. It serves 30 stations, covering a distance of around 45 km in a single run and a scheduled time of 72 minutes. The oldest S-Bahn trains in Berlin, series 480, built for the BVG since 1986, which was responsible for the S-Bahn in the American part of the capital at the time, can also be found here. They are currently the only ones that still remember the times before the reunification of East and West Germany. In the east, the 485 series was ordered for the Deutsche Reichsbahn, which was completely withdrawn from service at the end of 2023. Slowly but surely, the network of connections is being expanded with new sections. The completely new, short S15 line is to debut soon, which will connect Hauptbahnhof with Gesundbrunnen. This is the first stage of the construction of the City-S-Bahn project - the route is to be extended to Yorckstraße or Südkreuz. The new section will provide convenient north-south connections to the most important railway station, being the second Nord-Süd route in the city center and a breakthrough moment for the development of the public transport network in Berlin.
