Born and bred Wuppertaler here! The so called "Schwebebahn" is not only a tourist attraction but really a ubiquitous means of transport - my mother used it for commuting on a daily basis. However, from what I heard they introduced some new trains which have severe issues (heavy attrition, scratching noises etc) so that currently, the Schwebebahn is actually "closed" for a whole year! (Having never experienced this in my 19 years living there, I assume it's a very rare and unfortunate situation)
