A method of producing a rail-bound rail vehicle for passenger transport, includes providing at least one trough-like superstructure with a floor and adjoining side walls formed in a framework construction from side-wall posts, lower longitudinal members and upper longitudinal flanges or chords. The upper longitudinal flanges are supported against one another by connecting members. The side walls have windows and access areas with doors. The side-wall posts are disposed in a zigzag manner and are rigidly connected to the lower longitudinal members and the upper longitudinal flanges, and serve as supporting elements for the windows and side paneling elements fastened thereto. The superstructure is assembled from shaped pieces and bar parts which have been cut to length. The bar parts fitted together with the shaped pieces are aligned, connecting surfaces between the bar parts and the shaped pieces are provided with a bonding agent, the bar parts and shaped pieces to be connected are subsequently bonded, the bonding agent is set, and attachment of exterior paneling and windows is then carried out by a thick-film bonding technique.
