U-Bahn is the German abbreviation for Untergrund-Bahn (literally, underground railway), referring to a means of urban rapid transit, internationally known as subway, underground or metro. The term was created at the beginning of the 20th century in Berlin, where the Deutsche Reichsbahn Gesellschaft (German Imperial Railways Company) (predecessor of today's Deutsche Bahn AG (German Railways Inc.)) created a system of urban and suburban railway lines with fast electric trains and short service intervals, called the S-Bahn (abrev. for Schnellbahn (Fast Railways)). The Hochbahngesellschaft (Elevated Railways Company), operating elevated and subterranean urban lines, decided they also need an equally short and memorable name for their system, and thus called it U-Bahn, for Untergrundbahn (Underground Railways). The symbol for the U-Bahn is a white "U" in a blue square. ...more on Wikipedia about "U-Bahn"
