- Network of transport companies in the Upper Elbe region
- Sponsorship of the Wilderness Runs
- Partner since 2009
For many years, the VVO has been sponsoring tickets on a large scale and helping to organize the transport of our hard-working wilderness runners to the event location. Furthermore, it supports us widely in communication, for example on passenger television, in the VVO magazine and in social media.
The Upper Elbe Transport Association and the 14 transport companies cooperating with it offer modern local transport for residents and guests in the region. In addition to the state capital Dresden, the area covered by the association, which covers an area of around 4,800 km², includes the districts of Meißen, Sächsische Schweiz-Osterzgebirge and the western part of the district of Bautzen.
With buses, streetcars, local trains and ferries, the companies transport more than 200 million passengers a year on over 300 lines between around 3,800 stops.
The task of the VVO is to make the use of public transport as easy as possible. It improves connections between buses and trains, ensures a uniform fare system, comprehensible information and customer-friendly service.
