VVS-Rider

VVS-Rider is an on-demand minibus service around Stuttgart that complements traditional public transport. Without a fixed timetable, it collects passengers heading in similar directions for a shared ride, reducing traffic and emissions. The service can be integrated with buses and trains, and VVS tickets remain valid across all VVS-Rider trips (fare depends on zones).

Key features include:

• App-based booking and displays of pickup/drop-off points near your start and destination
• Advance bookings up to seven days in advance with a 20-minute pickup window for pre-booked rides
• Automated trip reminders and notifications
• Barrier-free options with ramps and wheelchair-accessible vehicles (selectable in Passenger settings)

Designed for the Stuttgart region, the VVS-Rider uses many entry/exit points to keep pickups nearby and minimize walking, while still offering efficient, climate-friendly transport.
