Transport
Eberswalde has access to the federal highways (Bundesstraße) B 2 and B 167 and the highway (Autobahn) A 11-E28. Eberswalde station is located on the Berlin–Szczecin line that reached Eberswalde from Berlin in 1842. It is the starting point of the railway lines to Templin and Frankfurt (Oder) and the now-abandoned line to Finowfurt, the EFE or Eberswalde-Finowfurter-Eisenbahn.
The town and its industrial parks can also be accessed through the waterways Oder Havel Canal and Finow Canal. Eberswalde-Finow also has an airport, Flugplatz Finow. After the withdrawal of the Soviet Air Force on May 11, 1993 the airfield has been opened for public traffic.
Until 1940 the town maintained some trams, which have been replaced by the Eberswalde trolleybus system. Eberswalde, Solingen and Esslingen are the only German towns where trolleybuses are still in operation.
Infratil from Wellington, New Zealand is considering an investment into Finow Airfield.

Famous quotes containing the word transport:
“One may disavow and disclaim vices that surprise us, and whereto our passions transport us; but those which by long habits are rooted in a strong and ... powerful will are not subject to contradiction. Repentance is but a denying of our will, and an opposition of our fantasies.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
