Verkehrs-Verbund Mainz-Wiesbaden GmbH

The Verkehrsverbund Mainz-Wiesbaden GmbH (VMW) is essentially a cooperation between the Mainzer Verkehrsgesellschaft (MVG) and the Wiesbadener ESWE Verkehrsgesellschaft mbH

(ESWE). Other bus companies in the network area such as Omnibusverkehr Rhein-Nahe GmbH (ORN) are also integrated into the VMW.In terms of tariffs and organization, local public

transport in the cities of Mainz and Wiesbaden has had a special status since the VMW was integrated into the RMV. The Hessian state capital Wiesbaden is - like the other districts and

independent cities in the Hessian RMV area as well - a partner of the RMV, but the Rhineland-Palatinate state capital Mainz is not.However, because the local public transport of the two cities

of Mainz and Wiesbaden has long been closely connected via a number of shared lines, as well as via the VMW since May 15, 1975, the city of Mainz is still associated with the

RMV via the VMW.That was in Rhineland-PalatinateThe city of Mainz and part of Zornheim are the only areas of the RMV that did not belong to the State of Hesse, meanwhile other places

outside Hesse can also be reached at the RMV tariff through transit tariffs.
