Mobility for a livable city

Public transport connects places and people in Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein by road, rail, and the Elbe River. Our investments in local public transport create sustainable mobility that drives our dynamic metropolis.

Next stop: the future.

Public transport is the backbone of Hamburg. Our targeted investments in this sector ensure mobility for everyone in Hamburg and the surrounding area. In this way, we promote social inclusion. We are strengthening the transport network, advancing climate-friendly alternatives to private car use, and implementing innovative, socially responsible mobility concepts. This ensures that our city, with its future-proof infrastructure, remains not only livable and attractive today, but also tomorrow.

Greater mobility with fewer emissions – with the Hamburg Takt, everyone in Hamburg should be able to reach public transport within five minutes from morning to night by 2030. To achieve this, we want to strengthen public transport with our investments and create new connections for Hamburg with projects of the century such as the U5.
