Rhein-Main-Verkehrsverbund (RMV)

The Rhein-Main-Verkehrsverbund (RMV) is the public transport association responsible for coordinating and integrating public transportation services in the Frankfurt Rhein-Main region of Germany. It encompasses a wide network of buses, trains, and other transport modes. RMV is currently newsworthy due to developments in transportation technology and infrastructure within its service area. Recent news highlights the integration of Frankfurt Airport's new Terminal 3 into the RMV network, including access via bus lines and the Sky-Line train connecting it to Terminals 1 and 2, and the regional train station. Furthermore, RMV is involved in testing autonomous vehicles, specifically 'KIRA' self-driving cars, in Darmstadt, Egelsbach, and Langen. The test area is being expanded, with additional autonomous taxis being deployed. These initiatives demonstrate RMV's commitment to modernizing and improving public transport accessibility and efficiency within the Rhein-Main region.
