The Basel Regional S-Bahn (German: Regio S-Bahn Basel) has provided an S-Bahn-style rail service connecting the Basel metropolitan area since 1997 in Switzerland, Germany and France. It consists of eight suburban train lines, including four that operate across borders.
The S-Bahn is operated by the Swiss Federal Railways (SBB CFF FFS), its German subsidiary SBB GmbH, the German DB, and the French TER Alsace. It is also run in partnership with Deutsche Bahn (German Railways, DB) and the Société nationale des chemins de fer français (French National Railways, SNCF) and its sponsors (the Swiss cantons of Basel, Basel-Country, Aargau, Solothurn, Jura; the German state of Baden-Württemberg and the French region of Alsace).
