The Königsreh U-Bahn is an electric rail rapid transit in Königsreh, Mascylla's capital and second largest city. Serving as one of the four components of the city's public transport capabilities, along with the S-Bahn, buses and a tram network, it is owned, maintained and operated by the Königsreher Verkehrsbetriebe (KRVB, "Königsreh Transport Company"). It is additionally integrated into the Verkehrverbund Zentralmaskillien (VZM, "Transport Association of Central Mascylla") to expand its network and allow access to the cities of Flussmund, Lehpold and Lensrau.
The first line, the U1, was finished and opened to the public on 21 May 1919; it is the second-oldest metro line and system currently in operation in Erdara. Today it contains 179.4 kilometres (111.5 miles) of tracks and routes, serving 219 stations on 7 separate lines, making it the largest metro system in Mascylla and fourth largest worldwide. In 2019, around 1.56 million people used the U-Bahn each day, or about half of Königsreh's population, and more than 569 million throughout the year; it is the busiest means of transportation in the city and country respectively and the most expensive public transport system in Erdara.
