Stuttgart

Germany ยท Verkehrs- und Tarifverbund Stuttgart (VVS)

Stuttgart offers a strongly integrated VVS tariff with one ticket covering all modes across eight zones, a directly stacked Hbf/S-Bahn/Stadtbahn interchange, and an extensive polygoCard-based shared mobility ecosystem. Current weaknesses are the disruption caused by the multi-year Stuttgart 21 construction and the fact that the city is not a true Integraler Taktfahrplan hub.

Integration Index
65.3/100

How integrated public transport is โ€” quantitative reach and qualitative interchange combined

Car-free liveability

How easy it is to get around without a car. A separate measure, reported alongside the index.

Equity
50.0/100

How evenly distributed transit access is across the city

Physical Interchange
6.7/10

Long-running Stuttgart 21 construction currently degrades wayfinding and walking distances, though underlying infrastructure enables step-free transfers between rail modes within 2-3 minutes at fully accessible, weather-protected interchanges.

Ticketing & Fares
9.3/10

A single VVS ticket enables unlimited mode changes across all transit types for up to three hours with no transfer penalty, while contactless payment and multimodal passes including the โ‚ฌ63 Deutschlandticket cover the entire integrated network.

Digital Information
8.0/10

VVS Mobil app offers real-time multimodal planning including on-demand, P+R and sharing locations; DB Navigator, Google Maps and Citymapper all cover the network well, with minor UX criticisms.

System Integration
7.0/10

Stuttgart operates synchronized regional transit at 15/30/60-minute intervals with unified off-peak fares and polygoCard integration, but its underground capacity prevents true all-to-all timed transfers and MaaS booking remains fragmented across operator apps.
