Locomore (identifier LOC) was a German railway company that operated a higher-speed inter-city rail open access service between four of the most populous German metropolitan areas in 2016-2017 i.e. the Stuttgart Metropolitan Region, Rhine-Neckar, Frankfurt Rhine-Main and Berlin-Brandenburg. The service stopped at 18 railway stations, including the major German cities of Stuttgart, Frankfurt, Hanover and Berlin. It operated at a top speed of 200 km/h (124 mph).
The financially self-reliant Locomore passenger rail service was run by its crowdfunded parent company, Locomore GmbH & Co. KG, a privately owned German railway passenger company headquartered in Berlin.
Locomore competed with express coach bus operators such as Flixbus and the state-owned German passenger long-distance train operator, Deutsche Bahn. The company was considered a low-cost passenger rail service provider. It advertised always selling its tickets at less than half the price than the standard fare Deutsche Bahn tickets.
