Two Stadtbahn lines are former light railway lines and connect to the cities of Duisburg (D-Bahn, U79) and Krefeld via Meerbusch (K-Bahn, U76).

The neighbouring city of Neuss is connected to the Rheinbahn network by one Stadtbahn (U75) and one tramway line (709). The neighbouring city of Ratingen is connected by one Stadtbahn line (U72).

Its bus lines cover Düsseldorf, Meerbusch and most parts of Kreis Mettmann.

The Rheinbahn is member of the Verkehrsverbund Rhein-Ruhr, the public transport association covering the area of the Rhine-Ruhr megalopolis.

In 37 work contracts the company failed to set an end for the salary payments so the employees keep getting paid until their death.[1]
