The way is clear for a new transport association in eastern Saxony. As announced by the Upper Lusatia-Lower Silesia Transport Association (ZVON), it intends to form the new East Saxony Transport Association (ZVVO) together with the Upper Elbe Transport Association (VVO) on January 1, 2026. The VVO association meeting approved the merger in Coswig. The approval of the State Directorate of Saxony is still pending.
Unified tariff as a goal - transitional solutions in the works
The new association is to include the districts of Bautzen, Görlitz, Meißen and Sächsische Schweiz-Osterzgebirge as well as the state capital Dresden and the large district town of Görlitz. Decisions on a central fare project are to be made at the first association meeting in January. The aim is to create a uniform ticket with which passengers can travel throughout Eastern Saxony in future. Initially, the existing VVO and ZVON fares will remain in place. According to the associations, transitional solutions are already being worked on to facilitate use across the previous association boundaries.
