It is the backbone of local transportation in the region: the Stuttgart S-Bahn. The Verband Region Stuttgart has an important role to play here as the statutory body responsible for the regionally important local rail services with their destination and source in the region: The association not only "orders" the S-Bahn service from DB Regio AG, it also constantly finances and develops it further. Where does the network need to be expanded, where does the frequency need to be increased and when do the trains need to be renewed? The association seeks and provides answers to these questions. A mammoth task in which many cogs have to mesh and, above all, patience and staying power are required. In addition to the S-Bahn, the Verband Region Stuttgart is also responsible for the Teckbahn from Kirchheim u. Teck to Oberlenningen and the Schusterbahn from Untertürkheim to Kornwestheim.
