U-Bahn Network
There are currently five U-Bahn lines (U1-U4 and U6) and 101 stations, including nine interchanges. The network's total length is 75 km (46.6 mi) with 101 stations. Further extensions of the Vienna U-Bahn have been decided until 2019. Upon completion, there will be a total network of 90 km (55.9 mi) and 116 stations. Some plans have been prepared to deal with the period beyond, although remain unfunded.
U-Bahn services run between 5 am and around 1 am at intervals between two and five minutes during the day and up to eight after 8 pm. Since 4 September 2010, there has been a 24-hour service operating at a 15 minute interval on Fridays, Saturdays and on Sundays if followed by a public holiday. The 24-hour U-Bahn is supplemented on these nights by Vienna NightLine bus services.

Famous quotes containing the word network:
“How have I been able to live so long outside Nature without identifying myself with it? Everything lives, moves, everything corresponds; the magnetic rays, emanating either from myself or from others, cross the limitless chain of created things unimpeded; it is a transparent network that covers the world, and its slender threads communicate themselves by degrees to the planets and stars. Captive now upon earth, I commune with the chorus of the stars who share in my joys and sorrows.”
—Gérard De Nerval (1808–1855)
