The Frankfurt Problem...
"But I live all the way out in Offenbach."
"And I'm in Bockenheim! Your suggestion is on the wrong side of the Main."
The solution: A truly fair midway point based on travel time, not just geography.
We used midway@ to analyze RMV travel times across Frankfurt.
1. The Hauptwache/Konstablerwache Zone: The Undisputed King
This is the absolute nerve center of Frankfurt's public transport.
- Why it works: Almost every S-Bahn and U-Bahn line runs through here. If you want maximum accessibility, this is it.
- Travel time fairness: It is the most likely spot to be the fairest travel time for any two points in the RMV network.
- The vibe: The heart of the city's shopping district (the "Zeil"). Bustling, commercial, and full of options.
- Try this spot: Grab food from the market at Konstablerwache on a Thursday or Saturday.
2. The Bockenheimer Warte Zone: The Student Hub
Where the university meets the city.
- Why it works: A key hub for the U4, U6, and U7 lines, plus major bus routes. It perfectly connects the western districts with the city center.
- Travel time fairness: An excellent choice for anyone living in the west (Bockenheim, Ginnheim) meeting someone from the city center or east.
- The vibe: Young, lively, and intellectual. Full of cheap eats, cozy cafes, and bookshops.
3. The Südbahnhof Zone: South of the River
The heart of Sachsenhausen.
- Why it works: A major station for S-Bahn lines (S3-S6) and U-Bahn lines (U1-U3, U8). It's the gateway to the southern part of the city.
- Travel time fairness: The best possible meeting point if at least one person lives south of the Main river.
- The vibe: A great mix. You have the traditional Apfelwein taverns of old Sachsenhausen and the trendy bars of the Schweizer Straße.
