Abstract: A track-bound vehicle, in particular a railborne vehicle, has a plurality of rail cars and a communication network for transmitting data signals. The communication network has two lines which run through the rail cars of the vehicle. The vehicle is designed in such a way that in each case one of the lines runs in the cars in a first region, and the other of the lines runs in a second region which is spatially separate from the latter, in at least one of the cars the course of the respective one line changes from the first region into the second region, and the course of the respective other line changes from the second region into the first region. Network components for refreshing the data signals that are transmitted in the lines are provided in the first region.
