3 Dear passenger, The transport association Verkehrsverbund Rhein-Ruhr (VRR) and its various affiliated transport companies provide you with a coordinated transport schedule and offer tickets, passes and services that fit your individual needs. With this brochure, we would like to introduce you to our range of tickets and passes regardless of whether you use local public transport frequently or whether you only occasionally wish to take the bus or train. You can find out which fare categories the various tickets and passes are valid for, and on pages 18 and 19 there is an overview of the VRR operating area. So that you always know who to contact in case you have a question or issue regarding local public transport, we have provided you with the contact information for all of the municipal and rail transport companies that make up the VRR network on the last pages of this brochure. A note on the use of personal pronouns in this brochure: In the text that follows only the masculine form is used to improve readability. All information does of course apply to members of both sexes. We wish you safe and happy travels on our buses and trains! 3
