    The Polybahn, also known as the Polybähnli or the Student Express, is a meter-gauge funicular railway in the Swiss city of Zurich. It connects the Central with the Polyterrasse in front of the main building of ETH Zurich. The name Polybahn derives from the old name used until 1911, the Swiss Federal Polytechnic School of the ETH. The railway is owned by UBS-Polybahn AG, a subsidiary of Bank UBS, is operated by Verkehrsbetriebe Zürich (VBZ) and is part of the Zurich Transport Association (ZVV). With 1.7 million passengers per year, it is the funicular with the second most passengers in public transport in Switzerland.
