The Zurich Underground was a project started in the 1970s to build the rapid transit network in the city of Zurich and several bordering municipalities. In the original plan the first line led from Dietikon via Schlieren, Zurich main station, Oerlikon and Opfikon to Zurich airport, including two short branch lines to Schwamendingen and Kloten. The two most important development axes of the agglomeration, Limmattal and Glatttal, would have been joined onto the network. The line would have been 27.5 km long, 14.8 km of which would have been underground. At a later point in time the construction of two more lines was planned. In spite of initial optimism the project was rejected in a referendum by the voters in the Canton of Zurich. As early as the 1st of April 1962, the "Tiefbahn" (rapid transit) project, which would have included the lowering of the Zürich S-Bahn in the city centre by building 21.15 km of underground line, was also rejected in a referendum. Some of the lines, which were built as preliminary work for the Underground that was never realised, are used today as the Milchbuck-Schwamendingen tram tunnel and as the final stop of the Sihltal-Zürich-Uetliberg-Bahn.
