caption_attribution_description: Glattalbahn, Glattzentrum in Wallisellen (Switzerland)
context_page_description: The Glattalbahn, originally known as the Stadtbahn Glattal, was a project that was ultimately successful in introducing a modern rapid-transit system to the Glattal area of Switzerland, to the north of the city of Zürich. Stadtbahn Glattal was developed as a metre gauge tram system with through-running to neighbouring Zürich. It was built and is owned by the Verkehrsbetriebe Glattal, but is operated under contract to them by the Verkehrsbetriebe Zürich.
  Stadtbahn Glattal is the official denomination of this system. This name is used in all official and legal processes. Elsewhere, the alternative term, Glattalbahn, is frequently substituted. The latter term correctly refers to the railway line from Wallisellen to Uster. It is, however, widely used for the Stadtbahn Glattal system and is prominent on the official website and advertising material.
  Stadtbahn Glattal is sometimes described in German as a Mittelverteiler, i.e., intermediate distributor.
