The Zürich S-Bahn (German: S-Bahn Zürich) system is a network of rail lines within the ZVV area (geographically, within the entire canton of Zürich, portions of Aargau, and minor outlying areas such as Rapperswil).
The entire ZVV S-Bahn network went into operation in May 1990, 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.

[edit] Previous lines in operation
- 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 the Seedamm, between Rapperswil and Pfäffikon 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 It has been replaced by a bus route.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). Map
Notes:
[1] Rafz and Niederweningen alternate every hour.
[2] Services restricted by time only.
[3] Seuzach and Winterthur Seen alternate every hour.
[4] International service: Stops in stations outside Switzerland.
