With the Friedrich-Alexander University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, the city is home to one of the largest and most research-intensive universities in Germany. Thanks to Siemens, numerous software companies and research institutions, Erlangen has a high concentration of technical know-how. This makes the city a location with attractive employers. Many people from the region commute to work in Erlangen. A modern and environmentally friendly alternative is needed to counteract the growing traffic burden caused by car traffic – the StUB. --- Stops along the route --------------------- #### Where does the Stadt-Umland-Bahn stop in Erlangen?

Siemens Campus, Langemarckplatz, Arcaden, train station, schools). - The StUB will significantly **reduce** **vehicle traffic** in the city. Roads will be closed to vehicle traffic on parts of the route. This minimizes exhaust gases and ensures **more clean air** and therefore a better **quality of life**. - The StUB will be an attractive connection for employees who **commute** between the three cities, with **10-minute intervals** – the StUB will run even **more frequently** during peak traffic times. - Fewer parked-in streets: The **Park & Ride facilities** along the route are an important part of the StUB planning. This will **significantly reduce** **parking pressure** in the city. - The StUB is accompanied by a **redesign** of the entire **public space** along the route. This offers the opportunity, among other things, to create more space for local people – for a better **quality of stay** in the city. - With the StUB, **university locations** of the Friedrich-Alexander-University Erlangen-Nuremberg will be **connected** with each other and the science axis Erlangen – Nuremberg will be **strengthened**. - As a sustainable means of transportation, the StUB can run on **100% green electricity** and thereby make an important contribution to achieving **local climate goals**. --- --- ### The entire route The StUB will connect Nuremberg, Erlangen, Herzogenaurach and also the villages east of Erlangen.
