Already in the late 1990s, close collaboration between the Berlin and Dresden public transport authorities resulted in development of specific systems from the RHEDA CITY design type for these two cities.

By now, over 180 km of track with the systemvariants RHEDA CITY and RHEDA CITY GREEN have been installed in Germany, and the system has been officially declared to be a standard design type. RHEDA CITY has also been installed successfully in numerous European cities.
