The Verkehrsverbund Region Braunschweig GmbH (VRB) is the central player for public transport (ÖPNV) in the Braunschweig metropolitan region, which extends from Wolfsburg to the Harz. With a strong network of 18 partner transport companies, the VRB offers uniform tariff structures and a modern range of tickets that appeals to commuters as well as leisure users, children, pupils and trainees. Around 100 million passengers use buses and trains in the association area every year, which includes the districts of Gifhorn, Goslar, Helmstedt, Peine, Wolfenbüttel and the cities of Braunschweig, Salzgitter and Wolfsburg[1][2][3].
The main mission of the VRB is to strengthen public transport in the region through an attractive, simple and cross-association mobility solution and at the same time promote sustainable mobility. The slogan "One region - one ticket" illustrates the endeavor to make access to public transport barrier-free, digital and versatile. To this end, in addition to classic ticket machines and ticket sales on the bus, the VRB also offers a user-friendly app and subscription centers as sales channels[1].
The VRB sees itself as a driving force for the development of modern, environmentally friendly and sustainable transport concepts in the entire region. The focus is on cooperation with the transport companies and the Regionalverband Großraum Braunschweig. The tasks of the VRB include not only the further development of the association tariff and joint sales, but also revenue sharing, comprehensive association marketing and continuous passenger information. This ensures a well thought-out system that combines different mobility needs[2][3].
Sustainability plays a central role in the work of the VRB. By promoting public transport, the association actively contributes to reducing individual car traffic, which reduces emissions and supports climate protection in the region. With its broad range of mobility options and the close networking of transport companies, the VRB creates attractive alternatives to motorized individual transport and supports the expansion of a climate-friendly, integrated transport network that increases the quality of life in the region[3].
Overall, the VRB as an innovative transport association stands for an efficient, customer-oriented and sustainable mobility experience in the Braunschweig metropolitan area. With the aim of continuously improving public transport and networking the region with an attractive offer, the VRB makes a significant contribution to the mobility of citizens and the sustainability of the metropolitan region[1][2].
