Danube-Iller Regional S-Bahn


The Danube-Iller Regional S-Bahn is a "regional" S-Bahn system in the Ulm and Neu-Ulm area. It operates Regionalbahn services on electrified and non-electrified lines. Its core is Ulm Hauptbahnhof, which acts as a hub between the regional S-Bahn lines, other regional services and long-distance services. In December 2020, the first two RS lines from Ulm to Memmingen and Weißenhorn were put into operation in the Bavarian part of the Danube-Iller planning region. When the 2021/2022 timetable changed, three more lines followed in the Württemberg part of the region on the southern railway to Biberach, on the Danube line to Munderkingen and on the Brenz Railway to Aalen. Further lines are to be added in the following years. The network is expected to be completed by 2030.
The Danube-Iller Regional S-Bahn is administered by the Donau-Iller-Nahverkehrsverbund GmbH and two neighbouring transport associations, the Heidenheimer Tarifverbund and OstalbMobil.
