S-Bahn and PlusBus Network
At the heart of the MDV’s transport network are the S-Bahn Mitteldeutschland city trains and the PlusBusNetz bus network. A total of 10 S-Bahn lines and 35 PlusBus lines, with short timetable intervals and close links between them, ensure optimal services and connections. This is the fastest way to get to all the interconnected destinations. The network is supplemented by regional train and bus lines. You can also use local municipal transit systems.

The TaktBus
The TaktBus is the little brother of the PlusBus and a lifeline for people in rural areas. It runs every two hours and connects smaller towns to the nearest larger centre, to enable access to doctors, authorities, shopping markets etc. In addition, it offers good connections to continuing lines, often also to trains. The TaktBus follows a regular schedule, also during school holidays.
