===Local public transport===
{{See also|Trams in Mannheim/Ludwigshafen}}
Local public transport in Mannheim includes the [[RheinNeckar S-Bahn]], eleven [[tram]] lines, and numerous bus lines operated by [[Rhein-Neckar-Verkehr]] (Rhine-Neckar transport) (RNV).

The [[RheinNeckar S-Bahn]], established in 2003, connects most of the Rhine-Neckar area, including lines into the [[Palatinate (region)|Palatinate]], [[Odenwald]] and southern [[Hesse]]. All S-Bahn lines run through Mannheim Hauptbahnhof except S5. Other S-Bahn stations are Mannheim-Rangierbahnhof, Mannheim-Seckenheim, and Mannheim-Friedrichsfeld-Süd.

The {{RailGauge|1000mm|allk=on}} integrated [[Trams in Mannheim/Ludwigshafen|Mannheim/Ludwigshafen tramway network]] also extends to Heidelberg. It is operated by RNV, a company that is wholly owned by the three cities mentioned and a couple of municipalities in the Palatinate. RNV is the result of a merger on 1 October 2009 between the region's five former municipal transportation companies.<ref>{{cite news | url= http://www.rnv-online.de/rnvGips/Gips;jsessionid=D599A53604ABB5F1D24D663A7F42FD3C?SessionMandant=RNV&Anwendung=CMSTickerEintrag&Methode=ShowHTMLAusgabe&SessionMandant=&RessourceID=56833 | archive-url= https://archive.today/20110719075638/http://www.rnv-online.de/rnvGips/Gips;jsessionid=D599A53604ABB5F1D24D663A7F42FD3C?SessionMandant=RNV&Anwendung=CMSTickerEintrag&Methode=ShowHTMLAusgabe&SessionMandant=&RessourceID=56833 | url-status= dead | archive-date= 19 July 2011 | title= Press release announcing the merger to form RNV (German-language)| date= 23 September 2009 | access-date= 6 October 2009}}</ref> Interurban trams are operated by RNV on a triangular route between Mannheim, [[Heidelberg]], and [[Weinheim]] that was originally established by the [[Upper Rhine Railway Company]] (''Oberrheinische Eisenbahn'', OEG), and the company also operates interurban trams between [[Bad Dürkheim]], Ludwigshafen, and Mannheim. In the 1970s a proposal to build a [[Rapid transit in Germany#U-Bahn|U-Bahn]] out of the Mannheim and Ludwigshafen tramways was begun, but only small sections were built due to lack of funds. The only underground station in Mannheim is the Haltestelle Dalbergstraße. U-Bahn planning now has stopped. All public transport is offered at uniform prices set by the [[Verkehrsverbund Rhein-Neckar]] (Rhine-Neckar Transport Union, VRN).
