"suburban railway within the metro system"

[edit]

I'm having slight headaches with this expression. What is to be considered the "metro system" the S-Bahn is contained in? It can't be the Stuttgart Stadtbahn, which is technically distinct, and not a super system. Or is it the Verkehrs- und Tarifverbund Stuttgart? But this is an administrative system rather than a technical system. This should be clarified. By the way, wouldn't it be appropriate to have a link to S-Bahn in the introduction? --dealerofsalvation 23:19, 7 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Dealer. We meet again. Agreed, it doesn't quite stack up as it can't be "under" the metro. Though I'm no expert. It's definitely more of a suburban railway than an underground or metro system though. Maybe it should just say "is a suburban railway serving...." and leave out the metro system. Or replace is with "local transport network" which could be used as an umbrella for everything in and around S. You're the expert though. BuzzWoof 07:03, 8 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
