And a few more statistics. The Schwebebahn has travelled about 300 million kilometers in 90 years. If there were a Schwebebahn to the moon then the overhead suspension railway trains would have already completed more than 370 flights. The journey from terminus to terminus takes half an hour. The question as to whether the overhead suspension railway can ever crash, may be negated with a clear con-science.
Safety is of prime importance.
The entire oper-ating and signalling system is monitored and controlled by a modern track diagram pushbutton system. The second world war greatly damaged the railway and it wasn't till spring 1946 that all the dam-age caused by the bombs had been repaired. . Fortunately, Tuffi could be rescued uninjured. Since then decades have passed. Cameras on all platforms convey a picture on to a monitor that shows the driver all passengers gett-ing into or off the train.
