The traffic community Niederrhein GmbH (VGN) was a union of all the public transport (LPT) in the circles Kleve and Wesel participating transport companies , which entered into force on 1 January 1979th The VGN's task was to ensure a uniform tariff and coordinated timetables .

The VGN was based on a contract dated November 28, 1978 between Niederrheinische Verkehrsbetriebe AG (NIAG) in Moers , Kreis Reeser Verkehrsgesellschaft mbH (KRV) in Wesel , Duisburger Verkehrsgesellschaft mbH (DVG) , KREVAG (now: SWK Mobil ) and the Omnibusverkehrsgemeinschaft Bahn / Post (later: RVN Regionalverkehr Niederrhein ).

The management of VGN was carried out by NIAG. Further partners after the merger of Kreis Reeser Verkehrsgesellschaft and NIAG were DB Regio NRW and several private and municipal companies.

PTAs were for the road passenger transport (public road transport) , the two circuits. For the local rail passenger transport (SPNV) in cooperation area 9 (Niederrhein) it was the Nahverkehrs-Zweckverband Niederrhein (NVN), then the higher-level Verkehrsverbund Rhein-Ruhr .

By resolution of the association assembly of the Niederrhein local transport association (NVN) on December 15, 1998, a cooperation agreement was concluded on February 18, 1999 for the purpose of introducing the common bus / rail tariff on June 1, 1999. From then on were uniform tariffs and conditions of carriage in the entire area not VGN longer just for road passenger transport, but also in rail transport. At the same time, VGN was entrusted with the application, further development and technical implementation of the community tariff.

The traffic area of ​​the Verkehrsgemeinschaft Niederrhein bordered in the northeast on the Verkehrsgemeinschaft Münsterland (VGM) and the Zweckverband SPNV Münsterland (ZVM) and in the east and south on the Verkehrsverbund Rhein-Ruhr (VRR) and the Zweckverband VRR. In the west and north the area of ​​the VGN was bounded by the Netherlands .

On January 1, 2012, the VGN was incorporated into the VRR . At the same time, the new VRR price level E replaced the previous NRW tariff for trips to the previous network area of ​​the VRR (now VRR Region South). In 2016, price level E was abolished again, now price level D applies in the entire network area (including the former VGN).
