The VRR and its duties

As an modern service provider, the Rhine-Ruhr Public Transport Association has been working with countless partners to shape local public passenger transport in the region since 1980. We secure the mobility of the 7.8 million citizens in our transport region, providing cost-effective local public passenger transport services that meet their needs. In our capacity as a public authority responsible for regional rail passenger transport, we are in charge of transportation on the tracks. As part of our network duties we organise local transport in 16 cities with district status and seven districts. Great demands will be placed on the local public transport of the future. That is why we promote investment plans which improve local transport for people in the region.
