Freiburg has an extensive pedestrian zone in the city centre where no motor cars are allowed.
Freiburg also has an excellent public transport system, operated by the city-owned VAG Freiburg.
The backbone of the system is the Freiburg tramway network, supplemented by feeder buses.
The tram network is very popular as the low fares allow for unlimited transport in the city and surrounding area.
Furthermore, any ticket for a concert sports or other event is also valid for use on public transport.
The tram network is so vast that 70% of the population live within 500m of a tram stop with a tram every 8 mins.

Freiburg is on the main Frankfurt am Main – Basel railway line, with frequent and fast long-distance passenger services from the Freiburg Hauptbahnhof to major German and other European cities.
Other railway lines run east into the Black Forest and west to Breisach and are served by the Breisgau S-Bahn.
The line to Breisach is the remaining stub of the Freiburg–Colmar international railway, severed in 1945 when the railway bridge over the Rhine at Breisach was destroyed, and was never replaced.

The city also is served by the A5 Frankfurt am Main – Basel motorway.

Freiburg is served by EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg in France, close to the borders of both Germany and Switzerland, 70 km (43 mi) south of Freiburg.
Karlsruhe/Baden-Baden airport (Baden Airpark) is approximately 100 km (62 mi) north of Freiburg and is also served by several airlines.
The nearest larger international airports include Stuttgart (200 km (120 mi)), Frankfurt/Main (260 km (160 mi)), and Munich (430 km (270 mi)).
The nearby Flugplatz Freiburg, a small airfield in the Messe, Freiburg district, lacks commercial service but is used for private aviation.

Car share websites such as BlaBlaCar are commonly used among Freiburg residents, since they are considered relatively safe.

The investment in transport has resulted in a large increase in both cycle, pedestrian and public transport usage with projections of car journeys accounting for 29% of journey times.
