Promotion of public transport

Erlangen's city center is heavily burdened by traffic (parked vehicles, commuter traffic, etc.) In order to relieve the city of motor vehicle traffic and increase the quality of stay, local public transport will be further strengthened by suitable measures.

The local transport plan (NVP) was updated between 2021 and 2025 and work was carried out in several thematic forums. The update of the NVP sets out the objectives for the development of public transport over the next five years and examines improvement measures:
On January 1, 2024, the free inner city area was introduced as a pilot project for three years.
introduced as a pilot project for three years. Surveys have shown that most passengers already travel with season tickets or the Deutschlandticket, meaning that the benefits of the offer are low in light of the budget situation. The CityLinie 299 is independent of the free inner city area and the regular fare will apply to it from January 2027.
As part of a traffic study, the plans for a mobility concept for "An den Arcaden" and the new Regnitzstadt in connection with the StUB are being driven forward. The expert began work in spring 2025 and will continue until 2026.
The "City Line" was introduced in December 2023, the free inner city zone was implemented on January 1, 2024 and is valid until December 31, 2026. This is the first measure from the local transport plan adopted in November 2025.
For the free inner city area, the city of Erlangen compensates the VGN with annual fare revenues of approx. 325,000 euros (plus future fare increases).
Citizens and interest groups are involved as part of the legally required participation process. The Mobility Forum was also involved over the course of the project.
