Different types of routes are used depending on the service:
MetroBuses serve high-demand routes and run at frequent intervals.
ExpressBuses connect more distant destinations particularly quickly with few stops.
CityBuses provide local access and ensure short journeys within the city.
On-Demand-Services im MVV
On-demand services complement the MVV’s regular scheduled services and provide flexible connections as and when required.
They are used primarily in outlying areas and during off-peak hours.
Journeys are only operated following prior booking via the app or by telephone.
This allows even remote locations to be connected and existing services to be usefully supplemented.
There are two types within the MVV network:
FLEXlinie connects fixed stops according to a timetable, but only operates when booked.
FLEX is a flexible service without a fixed route and takes passengers directly to their destination.
On-demand services fill gaps in the transport network and enable flexible mobility as and when required.
