As of 2011[update], the network consisted of the following lines:[needs update]
During peak times, line 1 operates at 10-minute intervals, line 2 20 minutes, and line 3 Monday-Friday 5 minutes (7½ minutes on holidays), 10 minutes at weekends. Off peak only lines 1 and 3 run at 30-minute intervals. In the evenings only line 3 runs, taking 70 minutes for a return trip.
For major events in the Hofwiesenpark, such as the Hofwiesenparkfest, line 5 runs Lusan-Brüte – Heinrichstraße – Untermhaus 15 minutes either side of lines 1 and 3, reducing to 15 minutes the off-peak service interval between Lusan, the most heavily populated part of Gera, and Untermhaus.
