2. Bockenheimer Warte station

Frankfurt - Germany

Planning began in the 1950s to replace the overburdened streetcars with a more robust public transit system. The political parties put forward plans for a full U-Bahn, a streetcar system with an underground section downtown, and an elevated railway. Eventually politics, in the form of the 1964 municipal election, resolved the issue in favor of the U-Bahn project that began as a light rail/Stadtbahn network using tunnels in Frankfurt's city core, but which in the future would be transformed into a fully rapid transit U-Bahn network.
