Here in Hamburg it's really the busses that get overwhelmed. The S-Bahn and U-Bahn are rarely overly full compared to the busses.

- sascha_sl 4y agoI'm from the south of Hamburg. The lines served by Metronom are probably the most tightly scheduled around. They don't even have time to stop at the terminus most of the time, so they carry delays forward throughout the entire day. The reason no S-Bahn goes far south is also that Dostos can still carry more people despite the slow acceleration/breaking.

The only thing that taking public transport saves you is the hassle of traffic (so you can do something else on your ride), and parking, which can be real bad in some areas of the city. The S-Bahn and U-bahn are usually only crowded on peak hours (2 or 3 hour intervals in the morning and evening).
