We are a region with considerable commuter traffic. Many people still use their cars for this. The Stadt-Umland-Bahn is an attractive alternative – to rethink and change the mode of transportation. Those who rely on rail instead of road also protect our environment and get to their destination with less stress. So, everything speaks in favor of the StUB.“ *— Marcus König, Lord Mayor of the City of Nuremberg* ![Dr. German Hacker](https://www.stadtumlandbahn.de/fileadmin/_processed_/8/0/csm_StUB_1._BM_Dr._German_Hacker_8ee1e45de9.jpg) © Stadt Herzogenaurach „With the StUB, we will be providing a sustainable, climate-friendly and state-of-the-art local transportation system between three cities and, in the future, to villages in the surrounding districts.
