RMV Announces Major Overhaul to S-Bahn Network

The largest changes in over two decades will see new routes and schedules introduced, enhancing connectivity in the Frankfurt region.

The new S-Bahn schedule, effective December 15, introduces significant changes, including a 15-minute frequency for the S6 line between Bad Vilbel and Frankfurt.
A new station in Frankfurt-Ginnheim will improve connections to U-Bahn lines U1 and U9, enhancing commuter options.
Despite the new changes, budget constraints limit the expansion to a 1% increase in service offerings, as rising costs outpace revenue growth.
The RMV is pushing for a stable, long-term funding solution for the Deutschlandticket, which will increase from 49 to 58 euros in 2025.
Temporary reintroduction of diesel trains in the Taunus region aims to address reliability issues with hydrogen-powered trains, with a return expected by 2026.
