Getting around
Oberhausen has a well-developed public transport network, operated by local company STOAG according to VRR tariffs. The backbone of the system is the Streetcar line 112 and especially the part of it between the central station and Sterkrade, which doubles as a bus rapid transit (BRT) line. Opened in 1996 on a former industrial railway, this transitway has frequent and fast services every few minutes. If you miss one, don't worry, you can most likely already see the next bus or tram approaching in the distance.
