AB This elaboration deals with the expansion potential of public transport in the city of Nellmersbach. As a commuter city with an S-Bahn connection, the expansion of public transport is imperative for environmental reasons, since most of the traffic goes to the congested Stuttgart. Based on commuter flows and regional accessibility analysis, it is examined how long public transport to Stuttgart and the neighboring communities takes compared to the car. There is a quantitative cross-sectional survey that shows the numbers before and after the 15-minute increase in the frequency of the S-Bahn and puts them in context. Based on qualitative extension proposals for taxi-on-demand, there should be an assessment of P&R users from Nellmersbach, who represent a critical group for the study and who could increase their use of public transport.
