Sharing offers in VRR: flexible travelling with bikes and e-scooters

For the journey to the next stop, to work or simply out into the countryside: hire bikes and e-scooters are a practical addition to local public transport. They make you independent of fixed timetables and take you exactly where buses and trains don't stop directly.

Various sharing offers are availablein the VRR. Some are available at fixed stations, others can be used flexibly throughout the city. Many services are already linked to local transport so that you can easily switch between modes of transport.

These sharing services are available in the network area:

Park and Ride (P+R): take the car to the train, continue relaxed by bus and train

Would you like to travel to the station by car and then continue your journey comfortably by train? No problem with the Park+Ride facilities in the VRR. Around 21,000 P+R parking spaces are available at around 200 railway stations and major stops. This allows you to switch directly from car to bus or train - easily, quickly and in an environmentally friendly way.

The aim is to make the switch to climate-friendly public transport even more attractive. To this end, VRR is investing in new car parks, better equipment and modern technology. The P+R facilities are not only intended to reduce congestion, but also to actively contribute to the transport transition.

One example of this is the "Smart Parking" concept: More and more facilities are being equipped with systems that record current capacity utilisation. The VRR's digital journey planner shows you in real time where there are still free spaces available. Cleanliness, safety and comfort are also in focus. More lighting, video surveillance and new services are designed to ensure that you feel well looked after at our facilities.
