When I was stationed in Germany as a member of the U.S. armed forces from 1978-81, I would travel from Heidelberg to Stuttgart on occasion, often but not always to swing by the old U.S. EUCOM Patch Barracks, although I would get there from city center specifically by city bus. I remember one main tram route going down the middle of a major multi-lane highway. I didn't use the trams that much, but they were sure prominent as part of the city's transit infrastructure. If I recall correctly, even back then there was a part of the tram system that ran somewhat underground/subsurface. I don't doubt the tram network has been expanded and upgraded since that time. Would sure be interesting to travel over there and see, Stuttgart was an inviting place to visit. I took my folks on an excursion there when they traveled over to visit me in 1980. We went on a tour of a nearby winery. Somewhat fond memories, as they're both gone now.
4:05 instead saying the specific line to interchange, it was saying the direction instead. Like Karlsruhe. I find this interesting, specially if you have multiple lines that go to the same place.

yes, that makes sense
@@CitytransportInfoplus As far as I know nowadays that way to announce interchanges is used in Karlsruhe (or say the entire AVG) and in Düsseldorf.
What's with *both* the apparent third rail *and* the overhead power wiring on the latter route? Normally it's either-or.
Is it 3rd rail around the 8:00 minute. Or just break of gauge ?
The 3rd Rail is there because the Trams had meter gauge but the DT8 have regular gauge
