Between the two Swiss cantons, the line also serves two stations in Germany.

History

Prior to the timetable revision of late 2015, the section of the S9 between Zürich and Uster operated much as today. However west of Zürich, the trains operated to Zug via Affoltern am Albis. The sections of line no longer covered by the S9 are now served by the S5.[3][1]
