I really enjoy this route. The aesthetics are really great and the audio, especially the tube audio is excellent. I still haven't figured out the onboard messaging system quite yet and there are a few bugs where people will be walking on the track at the stations.
But overall, it's a very enjoyable drive if you enjoy metro commuter routes with lots of platform stopping.
Unfortunately, however, there are no achieves or career mode scenarios with adequate tutorials and this is extremely a let down. I would really prefer if there was.

It looks very accurate to the real U-Bahn Route but I'm getting 20 FPS in some areas. This is a total scam at full-price, I was lucky enough to get it on a sale yet I still feel ripped off because it's borderline unplayable. There's also no career mode which is something you'd expect at this price-point.
Edit: I finally got it to run playably, it still lags but I just decreased the render distance, object density and object quality settings. I still wish it had a career mode but I like the mix of above-ground and underground driving.

My only complaint is that there are no door opening and closing animations. Other than that, I love this add-on and think that it's amazing that all nine lines are included in this add-on. The trains are also easy to control and isn't hard to stop the trains at stations.

This is the only DLC for TS2019 that I would recommend buying. And that is because this route is unique from all other DLCs. If you have always wanted a subway route or a street car line then this is the DLC for you! Besides this DLC I only buy TSW routes. They are more engaging and honestly the performance is better.

Awesome. Just awesome. Wish there were career scenarios, but this is a really great route. Hopeful that this will lead to other light rail in the Sim.

I love this DLC, my favorite one. I love how realistic it is and it took me a while to figure out how to put the display for the routes. Very impressed with this DLC. I love the mixture of being a metro and a tram. I love the announcer detail, very realistic, and that's something that you don't get in train sim. I'm mostly impressed with the door controls. You can control when to open and close the doors or automatic. I'd say the price is worthy, very detailed in the trains, fair amount of routes, and realistic.

Very good route. I am quite surprised by the accuracy and the detail. It actually gave me an instant rush of nostalgia for the 6 years I've spent in Frankfurt.
The rolling stock looks good and accurate as well. I cannot tell how accurate the driving behavior or the cabin is since I only know those trains as a passenger.
As far as performance goes, I have a mid-range desktop machine that is 6-7 years old now, and the route plays good on highest settings. Occasionally there are frame rate drops, but not enough to take away from the experience.
If I have to find a complaint, it's the sound. The sounds are completely off and this route could definitely benefit from an improvement in that department.
Recommendation from me. Especially if its on sale.

Highly recommended. But before you purchase, you need to be sure of the following:
1. Is your graphics card up to scratch? These routes are highly graphics-intensive.
2. Are you prepared to drive a train, stopping every 20-30 seconds, or do you prefer to thrash Class 37s or race along in your ICEs and Voyagers?
3. Are you prepared to learn the IBIS system and the German light rail signalling systems?
4. Are you aware that there are no career scenarios with this?
The choice is yours.

This is a good add-on. It is a tad pricey but it is worth it. I like several things about this. Firstly, I am very partial to metros and trams. I like very much that the entire Frankfurt U-bahn is included along with all the trains. Even though there is no option for career advancement, it is still a lot of fun to have the interaction with street traffic. The trains have very good brakes, which is typical of metros and trams as they are regularly starting and stopping. And the instrument panel lighting and working IBIS system definitely make this a good addition.

This route is a great addition to my Train Sim collection.
I have my settings set to max as it was prescribed in the manual anyway. I would recommend reading the manual to set up the train. The train set up is simple and setting up the IBIS can get some use to but if you do play OSMI 2 that you may recognize it. All the trains use a similar setting all across in the cabs. There are also announcements that it can be played while doing a route, most of them are in German of course while some can be in English. It even changes to do not board in U4 and U5 but not in the U3 due to the older board on those vehicles. Also, the rolling stock has buttons to play within the cab and the keys are mapped differently from any other train in the game.
The acceleration and braking can get a lot of use to and especially while stopping at stations. The trains do sound real the real thing as I have heard on YouTube. I have never been to Frankfurt myself. There's a lot of ambient sounds but different from any DTG route.
There are 24 standard scenarios listed in the description but I kind of wish they were in the career mode. DTG usually convert them to career but apparently, they didn't bother doing for this one due to this may get complicated due to the rolling stock features. All 24 scenarios feature just driving a line back and forth anyway. There is always quick drive routes on which you can drive any of the 9 lines that you want. This is also the second version of the route which is a plus, I thought for sure at first you can only drive the U5 units and you get less places to drive but that is not the case.
I would say it is a great route and I wanted to get this at Just Trains but I always urge my priority to get DLC on Steam. If you're looking at a good tram route than try to get this. I would say for what it features that you get with this route is worth the full price.
