context_page_description: Mitteldeutscher Verkehrsverbund is a public transport association in the German Leipzig-Halle area. The company is based in Halle, but its head office is in Leipzig.
  The Mitteldeutsche Verkehrsverbund is a so-called mixed transport association. Its shareholders are the public authorities and the transport companies. The aim of the MDV is to make it easier for everyone in Mitteldeutschland to travel by local trains, S-Bahn, tram and bus. The MDV already offers a uniform ticket system and is working on a coordinated timetable.
context_section_description: The MDV includes (year of accession in brackets):
  in Saxony, the former Direktionsbezirk Leipzig:
  City of Leipzig (since 2001)
  Leipzig district (former Leipziger Land district since 2001, former Muldentalkreis district since 2004)
  Nordsachsen district (former Delitzsch district since 2001, former Torgau-Oschatz district since 2004)
  Zweckverband für den Nahverkehrsraum Leipzig (ZVNL)
  in Saxony-Anhalt parts of the former administrative Halle district:
  City of Halle (Saale) (since 2001)
  Saalekreis (former district of Merseburg-Querfurt and former Saalkreis since 2001)
  Burgenlandkreis (old Burgenlandkreis and former district of Weißenfels since 2004)
  Nahverkehrsservice Sachsen-Anhalt (NASA)
  in Thuringia, the area formerly belonging to the Bezirk Leipzig:
  Altenburger Land district (since 2005)
  From 2004, the former district of Döbeln was also part of the Mitteldeutscher Verkehrsverbund. As a result of the Saxon district reform of 2008, however, this became part of the administrative district of Mittelsachsen. Since August 2011, the entire district of Mittelsachsen, including the former district of Döbeln, has belonged to Verkehrsverbund Mittelsachsen. Only for journeys between the former district of Döbeln and the Mitteldeutscher Verkehrsverbund across all areas of the association there are still transitional tariff regulations.
  It was announced in February 2018 that the area would be extended to include the districts of Anhalt-Bitterfeld and Wittenberg as well as the city of Dessau-Roßlau. As of December 2019, rail traffic in this area will initially be integrated into the MDV and full integration with bus and tram traffic will be sought. Also in December 2019, Könnern station in the Salzlandkreis district will become part of the network.
