VGF – everyone’s
along for the ride

Verkehrsgesellschaft Frankfurt am Main (Frankfurt am Main Transport Company – VGF from now on) is Frankfurt’s transport company and city traffic service provider. More than 320 rail vehicles and 180 buses are active on nine underground lines and nine tram lines. After the City of Frankfurt decided in 2001 to put the whole of Frankfurt’s bus transport system out to Europe-wide tender, VGF’s own subsidiary, In-der-City-Bus (ICB), currently operates around 50 per cent of Frankfurt’s bus services.

VGF employs a workforce of around 2,000 people, 684 of them underground train or tram drivers, while ICB employs a further 350 bus drivers. This makes VGF one of the largest employers in the city and in the Rhine-Main region as a whole.

Every day, VGF’s underground trains, trams and partial bus service keep Frankfurt on the move – 673,000 inhabitants and all those who live and work in the city during the day.
