The additional transport offer to the timetable

Always mobile in Dortmund by taxi at a special price.

With around 85 bus and train lines, DSW21 ensures that Dortmund city centre and a large part of the suburbs are easily accessible by public transport every day until around midnight. After midnight, up to 18 NachtExpress lines set off.

However, there are still a few gaps in the route network, which are filled by the AnrufSammelTaxi (AST), which serves smaller towns such as Großholthausen, Bittermark and Niedernette.
