The Zürich S-Bahn ( _de. S-Bahn Zürich) system is a network of rail lines within the
ZVV area (geographically, within the entirecanton of Zürich , portions ofAargau , and minor outlying areas such asRapperswil ).The entire
ZVV S-Bahn network went into operation in May1990 , although many of the lines were present beforehand.The S-Bahn network is numbered, but numbering is rather sporadic, with several missing lines (e.g. S19, S20). The lines are numbered from the S1 to the S43.

* S1 was the old number of line S21. It was renamed after the opening of the S1 line of the Lucerne-Zug network to avoid confusion.
* An S31 used to exist. It used to run at least across theSeedamm , betweenRapperswil andPfäffikon SZ .
* S43 ran between Rüti and Wald (near Rapperswil) and had only three stations and was in fact a limited service of S43. It has been replaced by a bus route.Projected future lines:Several lines are projected with the opening of the 3rd underground station at Zurich HB (2013).
