Local transport in Osnabrück
The transport in Osnabrück consists mainly of a city bus system . The regional bus network is integrated into the city network. The most important transfer hub for rail traffic is the main station ( IC and ICE hub). In the city there are two further stations for local rail transport ( Osnabrück Altstadt and Osnabrück- Sutthausen ). Stadtwerke Osnabrück AG is the operator of the inner-city bus transport .
The local transport plan for the city and the district of Osnabrück is created by the planning company Nahverkehr Osnabrück GbR . The managing directors are Stephan Rolfes and Peter Schone. The local transport plan has an option for an inner-city detachment from regional rail routes with a tram. Local transport is organized by the partners of the Verkehrsgemeinschaft Osnabrück (VOS).
history
Rail transport
The Hannoversche Westbahn reached Osnabrück in 1855; the Hannoversche Bahnhof was created . The city was thus connected to the railway network. A year later, the route extension to Rheine and Emden was opened. However, there was no public transport within the city. Fifteen years later, the first connection in the north-south direction followed, on September 1, 1871 , the line from Münster to Osnabrück was opened by the Cologne-Mindener Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft and extended to Hamburg in the following three years . The lines crossed east of the city center, the Bremen train station of the new line was at the height of Buerschen Strasse. The city's two train stations were about a kilometer apart, which was not ideal for those changing between the routes.
In 1886 the Osnabrück – Bielefeld ( Haller Willem ) line was opened. Passenger traffic on the Lower Saxon section of this route ended in 1984. Around twenty years later, in June 2005, however, it was reactivated with the simultaneous introduction of a network tariff exclusively for this connection.
In 1895, the Centralbahnhof , today's main station, was finally opened at the intersection of the two main railway lines in the style of a tower railway station and the Hannoversche and Bremen stations were closed for passenger traffic. Since the northern city center was further away from a train stop, the Osnabrück-Hasetor stop (today Osnabrück Altstadt ) was set up on the Löhne – Rheine railway line in 1896 . There were other railway stations, which are now closed, in Eversburg , Hörne - now the depot at the beginning of the Haller Willem - and Lüstringen . Lotte station existed on the Osnabrück-Rheine line in the Lotte municipality , directly on the state border with North Rhine-Westphalia . In the area of the Osnabrück / Belm city tariff on the route towards Bremen, there was also the former Belm stop .
At the beginning of the 20th century, the narrow-gauge Tecklenburger Nordbahn Osnabrück-Eversburg - Recke - Rheine-Altenrheine was built. After being converted to standard gauge, the trains also reached Osnabrück main station between 1935 and 1965 after they were fed into the main network in Eversburg. The route is now set for regular passenger traffic. However, there is a freight and museum railway company (“Pingel-Anton” from Osnabrück- Piesberg station ).
In Elstermann's timetables from 1976, the following railway lines were published for Osnabrück:
100 Münster (W.) - Osnabrück - Diepholz - Bremen
202 Osnabrück - Dissen-Bad Rothenfelde - Halle - Bielefeld
270 Oldenzaal - Rheine - Ibbenbüren - Osnabrück - Bünde (W.) - Löhne (W.)
275 Osnabrück - Bramsche - Quakenbrück - Oldenburg
276 Osnabrück - Bramsche - Vechta - Delmenhorst
tram
By 1880, over 30,000 people were already living in the city, and the establishment of local transport became more and more urgent. At the beginning of the 1880s , the construction of a horse-drawn tram was discussed and finally contractually agreed in 1882, but the construction company withdrew from this contract. One year later, the Osnabrück steelworks suggested setting up three lines. "Smokeless locomotives" were supposed to run on one of them, while the others should be operated as a horse-drawn tram. However, the Reichsbahn imposed such conditions on the crossing of the railway tracks that this plan was soon dropped.
In 1897, the Georgs-Marien-Bergwerks- und Hüttenverein approached the city and proposed the construction of a meter-gauge electric tram. 1900 another project was submitted after a standard gauge tram from the city until after Hellern should be built, in addition to the passenger and the transport of produced in Hellern bricks should be used. However, these projects also failed before the contract was signed.
The Osnabrück tram was opened for urban public transport in 1906 (gauge 1000 mm, 550 volts). There were initially the following two lines:
- Line 1 with blue identification color from the main station via Neumarkt and Nikolaiort to Lotter Straße (depot) and
- Line 2 with red color code from Johannistor (Rosenplatz) via Neumarkt and Nikolaiort to Hasetor.
Line 2 was extended in two steps via Iburger Straße to Schölerberg in 1910/19 . In 1924/28 extensions from Hasetor to Haster Mühle were added. A third line went into operation in 1925, initially from Arndtplatz to Buersche Straße, four years later the Schinkel terminus was reached. In 1927, line 1 was extended to the Heger cemetery (Schweizerhaus). This was followed by an expansion from Arndtplatz through Martinistraße to Martiniplatz (today Heinrich-Lübke-Platz). At the beginning of the 1930s, the main features of the Osnabrück tram network were achieved, with which it existed until the end of the 1950s.
After the Second World War , there were two more additions: in 1948 from Haster Mühle to Haste and in 1953 from Ernst-Sievers-Straße (Schweizerhaus) to Heger Friedhof. The following lines were used:
| line 1 | Central station - Möserstraße - main post office - Herrenteichsstraße - Nikolaiort - Rißmüllerplatz - Heger Tor - Lotter Straße - Heger Friedhof |
| Line 2 | Schölerberg - Johannisfriedhof - Iburger Straße - Rosenplatz (Johannistor) - Johannisstraße - Neumarkt - Nikolaiort - Hasetor - Haster Mühle - Haste (Bramstraße) |
| Line 3 | Schinkel - Schützenstraße - Rosenburg - Buersche Straße - Alte Poststraße - Wittekindstraße - Main Post Office - Neumarkt - Neuer Graben - Martinistraße - Arndtplatz - Martiniplatz (Heinrich-Lübke-Platz) |
The tram operation was stopped in three steps between November 30, 1958 (line 3) and May 29, 1960 (Haster Mühle - Schölerberg).
trolleybus
Osnabrück had a trolleybus network from the end of 1949 to mid-1968 with three main lines and a route length of approx. 26 km. For the first 10 or so years of operation, trolleybuses supplemented the tram network. The starting point was Rißmüllerplatz, destination Eversburg and Atter. There they replaced the bus and coach routes that existed before the Second World War . In 1958 the city decided to discontinue all tram lines and to replace them with trolleybuses or diesel buses. In the following two years the trolleybus network was expanded considerably. Only the tram in the direction of Haste was replaced by buses. The last network expansion to Schinkel Ost took place only two years before the trolleybus operation was stopped. In the end, around 30 vehicles were used, some of them were one and a half deckers . The trolleybus traffic in Osnabrück ended in 1968.
omnibus
After the plans for a horse-drawn tram failed several times, the haulier Rahe offered regular trips with the horse-drawn bus between the Johannistor and the Hofhaus from Christmas 1888 . Just a quarter of a year later, he also opened a second line that ran from the town hall to both train stations. However, the poor condition of the roads and frequent waiting times at the level crossings meant that the connections were hardly more attractive than walking. As early as 1899, these journeys were therefore stopped again, and the connection to the new central station at the intersection of the two long-distance routes, which had been introduced five years earlier, had also proven to be inefficient.
The first diesel bus line in Osnabrück was opened on October 12, 1924: the Osnabrück bus company used its buses to run a ring line from Neumarkt through the Schinkel district and back again. However, this line could not handle the traffic flows and was replaced by the tram after only two years. The buses were used from 1926 on on the line from Rißmüllerplatz to Eversburg .
On January 1, 1929, the Stadtwerke took over the company and operated their own bus service for the first time. A year later the line followed from the main station / Rosenplatz to Voxtrup. A few new vehicles were purchased up to the Second World War; in 1941, 18 buses and three trailers were in service with the municipal utilities. Due to the destruction in the war, however, the urban bus network was also badly affected, and regular services could not be resumed until the beginning of 1946. Initially, the pre-war lines were put back into operation, but soon afterwards other lines were also reopened. Only line 5 (Rißmüllerplatz-Eversburg / Atter) was not used by buses from 1949 to 1968, nor was a tram planned for the city center.
In 1956, the Stadtwerke acquired the first one and a half-decker omnibus. After individual buses with trailers were previously on the more frequented routes, a larger number of passengers could now be transported with a shorter vehicle. For this reason, numerous other buses of this type were procured in the following years, which shaped the streetscape in Osnabrück in the 1960s. With the advent of the VÖV buses around 1970 and the simultaneous extensions of the stops, the one-and-a-half-decker buses were again replaced by articulated buses .
In the 1990s, the line network was organized in a very special way: Lines in the direction A → B had even numbers, in the opposite direction odd numbers (e.g. 31, 33, 41 and in the opposite direction 32, 34, 42). As a result, there was not only one meeting point - as is the case with some modern city bus systems today, when there is a star-shaped operation with a central end point - but a clear directional assignment of all lines at all stops.
In 1996 the traffic association Osnabrück was founded. The aim was to integrate regional bus traffic into the city network. The "Osnabrück Model" developed for this attracted a great deal of attention and still serves as a model today. From 1998 the line network was redesigned. The existing direction system was replaced, regional buses were given the same names as the city bus routes, but with a clockwise hundreds number (300 → Melle, 400 → Bad Rothenfelde etc.). A continuous cycle (“City-Takt” and “Regio-Takt”) was introduced for the city and the surrounding area. With one exception, rail transport was and is not included.
After more than 20 million passengers were carried for the first time in the 1970s, this number has now risen to over 36 million (as of 2018). In 2018, 151 buses were used by the municipal utilities to handle the traffic on the 24 lines.
In the 1970s there were Elstermann's timetables for the city of Osnabrück and the surrounding area.
In it the city bus routes in Osnabrück were published, whereby there was always a single-digit basic number, which then included one- and two-digit line numbers.
In the summer of 1976 there were 9 city bus routes in Osnabrück (most of them on the common main sections every 10 minutes in peak times, every 20 minutes in branch lines):
1: 15 Hörne / 13 Hellern - Zur Spitze Hörner Weg - 11 Sandgrube (alternating with Mittagskamp) - Heinrich-Lübke-Platz - Neumarkt - 1 Central Station - Rosenburg - 12 Südstrasse - 14 Gretescher Turm - 10 Lüstringen-Ost / 18 Lüstringen- Therefore

Electric bus
In order to reduce exhaust gases and noise, to move away from fossil fuels and (in the long term) for financial reasons, the municipal utilities have initiated the electrification of the inner-city bus network. The first fully electrified city bus line was opened on April 8, 2019 with the M1 line. According to information from Stadtwerke Osnabrück, this was the longest electric bus route in Germany at around 13 kilometers when it opened.
e: bus 94
Since the municipal utilities initially had no experience with electric buses, test operation began on the newly introduced district line 94 in the city center from August 2011 . This connected the Marienhospital to the city bus network and initially ran as a ring line from Neumarkt. From 2013 it was continued via the main station to Rosenburg, but this section of the line had to be canceled later due to the ailing railway bridge on Hamburger Straße.
The model first used since 2011 was a minibus of the model BredaMenarinibus ZEUS M 200 E . At the time, this was the first battery bus in Germany to be used in regular service. Based on the experience gained with the batteries of this model in test operation, the range in the planning documents was reduced from 200 to 150 kilometers. From August 2013 a midibus of the PVI Oreos 4X model was added.
Between October 2013 and February 2014, the BredaMenarinibus failed during test operation due to problems with the battery and had to be replaced by a diesel-powered minibus. Further downtimes were caused by defects in ancillary units on the buses. Despite these problems, the test operation was generally rated as successful, as the availability of the PVI model was, according to the company's own statements, greater than that of a diesel bus. The experiences from the test operation of the line 94 flowed into the planning for the expansion of the electric bus traffic in Osnabrück. The BredaMenarinibus was taken out of service in 2017 and given away to a university. In May 2018, the line was discontinued until further notice due to major construction work on Neumarkt.
The line is no longer included in the 2020 bus network, which went into operation in February 2020. Instead, the Marienhospital is connected via a stop on line 13 in the direction of Voxtrup.
Metrobus line M1
In 2015 it was decided to switch the city bus line 41 between Haste and Düstrup to electric buses. The Dutch manufacturer VDL Bus & Coach won an initial tender for 13 electric articulated buses in December 2017 with the Citea SLFA 181 Electric . In addition to the buses, VDL also supplies the charging infrastructure and carries out the necessary training for the municipal utility employees. In addition to 14 conventional charging stations for the bus depot, a fast charging station will also be built in the depot and at the end of the line in Haste and Düstrup. The connection between the bus and the charging station is established by means of a current collector in the front area of the vehicle. The fast charging process should take around 10 minutes. In order to create a neutral starting position for future electric bus tenders, the charging stations should not only be used by VDL buses, but also by electric buses from other manufacturers. The order value of the entire system is around 11.5 million euros. The state of Lower Saxony supported the acquisition with three million euros. The municipal utilities receive a further EUR 21.3 million in funding from the Federal Environment Ministry , including from the funding pot for electric buses from the Clean Air immediate program .
The Osnabrück electric buses are 18.15 m long, 2.55 m wide, 3.49 m high and offer space for 131 passengers. They also have four doors, outside speakers and lighting, video surveillance, USB sockets for passengers and a passenger information system . The Siemens electric motor has a maximum output of 210 kilowatts . The batteries have a capacity of 190 kilowatt hours and the contractually guaranteed range is 60 kilometers. The curb weight is around 18 tons.
The buses have diesel-powered additional heating. The reason for this is supposed to be that modern electric motors and batteries do not produce enough waste heat to heat the buses sufficiently even on cold winter days. On the other hand, an electrical auxiliary heater powered by the energy from the batteries would reduce the range of the buses too far so that the line could no longer be fully served. In order to reduce pollution in particularly affected areas such as the city center in winter, the additional heating is to be switched off on certain line sections using geofencing .
The attractiveness of the electric bus line is to be further increased by so-called bus acceleration . Two intersection areas on Bramscher Strasse were converted to allow faster and more direct lines. On the other hand, a citizens' initiative has been formed from residents who question the effectiveness and the envisaged advantages of the measures. There are also protests against the extension of the bus route to the east of Haste .
The electrified line 41 was converted into a Metrobus line and renamed the M1 . After a test run from the end of March 2019, the line was officially put into operation on April 8, 2019. Normally, only the new electric buses are used on the M1, only in the event of malfunctions and failures, diesel buses continue to be used in isolated cases. The terminus at the roundabout in Düstrup was converted for the M1 line. The Molenseten stop will now be served in both directions, while the Am Heidekotten stop will only be served by emergency buses. The top Voxtrup stop has been moved towards the city center to Düstruper Straße. The Haste (Haster Berg) stop has been replaced by Östringer Weg . The Rostocker Straße stop has been completely discontinued. The Berningstraße stop has been moved towards the city center to the street of the same name. Until April 8, 2019, the Haste stop served as a provisional final stop, and since April 9, 2019 the line has been running to the new Haste-Ost final stop .
For further development, see the section Further electrification of the bus fleet .
Local transport today
Rail transport
The centrally located main train station is a transfer hub for rail and bus traffic. This is where the Wanne-Eickel – Münster – Hamburg (“taxiway”) and Hanover – Rheine railway lines, used by long-distance and local traffic, intersect, three of which branch off from the regional lines.
There are two further stations in the Osnabrück city area: The Osnabrück Altstadt stop (until 2009 Osnabrück Hasetor ) on the Hanover – Rheine route, in the direction of Oldenburg and Vechta – Delmenhorst , and the Osnabrück- Sutthausen stop in the same-named district on Haller Willem to Bielefeld . These stops are directly connected to the bus network. The inner-city transfer connection Altstadt – Hbf – Sutthausen can hardly be used due to the lack of a network tariff (VOS season tickets are not recognized). The former train stations in Eversburg, Hörne and Lüstringen, the Hannoversche train station (near Berliner Platz) and the Lotte, Belm and Vehre stations outside the city limits (in the area of the city bus tariff) are no longer served. For museum trains, there is also the Osnabrück- Piesberg station ( colliery station ).
There are the following timetable tables:
375 (Hengelo -) Bad Bentheim - Rheine - Osnabrück - Bünde (W.) - Bielefeld / Löhne (W.)
385 Münster (W.) - Osnabrück - Diepholz - Bremen
392 Osnabrück - Bramsche - Quakenbrück - Cloppenburg - Oldenburg - Wilhelmshaven

City bus transport
On February 5, 2020, a new, completely revised line network went into operation in Osnabrück. It consists of five Metrobus routes (M1 – M5) on the main axes, which are supplemented by nine city bus routes (route numbers 11–19) and a ring line (route 10/20). There are also two dial-a-bus routes (113 and 119) and three routes with temporary service for work and school traffic (151, 152, 160). Bus trailers are used regularly, especially on line 16 (via university and college ) . Amplifier lines and e-cars are also used for business and school traffic on working days, as well as at events ; these are marked with an "E".
The cycle times will be extended in evening traffic and on weekends. At these times, the buses meet at the Neumarkt at the same time - there is then a rendezvous system . Because the stops at the Neumarkt transfer hub are sometimes far apart, there are long connection waiting times. A dilapidated bridge on Hamburger Straße over the railroad tracks at the main train station is currently closed to bus traffic, which means that direct bus traffic between the main train station and Rosenburg is no longer possible until the bridge is rebuilt.
In detail, the new network provides for the following lines:

Only the regional bus in the Osnabrück-Belm tariff area is served X273, X274, X275, X276, X373 (Hbf. -) Neumarkt - Belm, Lecon (partly Belm, Hof Eistrup)
Sections in brackets are used by continuous regional buses with different, three-digit line numbers. The destination signs on the vehicles of these lines are partially two-line: below the city line with the final destination in the city of Osnabrück, above the regional line with the end point. Line numbers with the addition "X" mean express bus : no getting off out of town, no boarding into town in the Osnabrück urban area.
Regional bus transport
In regional traffic, a distinction must be made between bus routes with destinations in the Osnabrück district and routes to the North Rhine-Westphalian Tecklenburger Land . Lines with the designation "R" and "S" serve neighboring cities in North Rhine-Westphalia , here the so-called Münsterland tariff is used for journeys beyond the city limits of Osnabrück . This was replaced by the Westphalian tariff on August 1, 2017 . The operator of these lines is Regionalverkehr Münsterland GmbH (RVM).
Line numbers of regional lines of the VOS with the addition "X" mean express bus : no exit out of town, no boarding in the urban area of Osnabrück.
Some regional lines are not integrated into the city network:
- (X) 273–276 Osnabrück - Vehre / Icker / Venne / Ostercappeln / Bad Essen

Line X15 express bus
The airport Münster / Osnabrück (FMO) in Greven is the line X15 served several times daily. The starting point is at the main station, further boarding options are the Neumarkt and stops near several Osnabrück hotels. There are also stops in Ladbergen . The timetable is adapted to the flight schedule, Monday to Saturday there is an hourly service. A special tariff applies to this line, and the onward journey on the Osnabrück city bus network is included. The operation is usually carried out by minibuses . At the FMO there is a connection to the RVM line S50 from / towards Münster.
Leisure buses
Leisure buses run into the region on Sundays from May to early October. The destinations are the Dümmer , Bad Essen ("Varus region"), Tecklenburg and the southern district of Osnabrück ("Teuto region") ending in Bad Rothenfelde . The regular VOS tickets are valid on the buses. The recreational buses pull a trailer to transport bicycles; bicycles can be taken along free of charge after prior registration.
Night traffic
Night buses operate on the nights from Friday to Saturday and from Saturday to Sunday . The buses run at the normal tariff, with the exception of the N381 line, which is part of the tariff of the Melle night bus network, which provides a flat fare of 5 euros per person and day. With the 2020 bus network, the night bus network has also been revised and is more oriented towards the daytime network than before. It looks like this:
| line | Line route |

Local transport tariffs
There are four tariff systems in the Osnabrück region:
- VOS tariff for bus transport in Osnabrück and in the entire district of Osnabrück .
- VOS Plus network tariff for the “Haller Willem” railway line in the direction of Bielefeld and all buses in Osnabrück / Belm and in the southern district (VOS-Süd). There is a tariff surcharge compared to the VOS tariff. There is a transitional tariff to the neighboring network to Bielefeld.
- In the urban area of Osnabrück and in rail and regional bus services in the direction of North Rhine-Westphalia also has Westphalia tariff (u. A. Traffic community cathedral country ) and the NRW fare , including the SchönerTagTicket NRW , validity. On the route in the direction of Melle , however, NRW tickets are not valid for the stops within the Osnabrück district ( Wissingen to Bruchmühlen ).
- The Lower Saxony tariff is used in rail transport . The Lower Saxony ticket was valid until December 2019 exclusively on rail and bus network in the city of Osnabrück / Belm, but not in the bus network of the district Osnabrück. Since December 15, 2019, the Lower Saxony ticket has been valid in all local transport offers in the city and in the Osnabrück district.
In the Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung the accusation is made that the bus fares in Osnabrück were increased in January 2014 due to the "false statement" of increased diesel prices, although the diesel prices in 2013 were below those of 2012.
Plans and suggestions for the future
Further electrification of the bus fleet
After the conversion of line M1 between Haste and Düstrup to electric buses, further lines are to follow. The next two construction lots for 22 and 27 further electric buses were combined in a joint tender and are to be procured by 2022. The Dutch manufacturer VDL was also able to win this tender. The first bus of the second construction lot was delivered in August 2020. In contrast to the first, the buses in the second batch have a turning assistant and no longer have fossil- fuel auxiliary heating. In the long term, the entire city bus network is to be converted to electricity as an energy source.
Mobility stations
Mobility stations are to be set up at various (end) stops and transfer nodes of the city bus network . B. Park and Ride parking spaces, bicycle parking facilities and car sharing stations should make it easier to switch between different modes of transport. The redesigned forecourt of the Sutthausen train stop is to serve as a model for this. Mobility stations were also set up in Haste (Eberleplatz) and Düstrup by 2020.
Regional rail lines
In the Rosenplatz area, an additional stop is planned for the RB 75 Haller Willem Osnabrück - Bielefeld in order to better connect the southern urban area to the rail network. Initially, the construction of a single side platform is planned on the south side of the railway line, between the underpasses of Sutthauser and Iburger Strasse. As of January 2019, construction will not start before 2022. An extension with an additional side platform on the north side or a central platform to enable train stops on the routes to / from Münster is not planned in the short to medium term for economic reasons.
A reactivation of the Tecklenburger Nordbahn from Osnabrück via Lotte-Büren, Lotte-Wersen, Westerkappeln, Mettingen to Recke has been under discussion for several years . The local transport plan SPNV Westfalen-Lippe provides, based on a good economic efficiency, that the train from Osnabrück to Recke should be put back into operation as a modern regional train every 30 minutes. The existing stations Osnabrück Hauptbahnhof and Osnabrück Altstadt (Hasetor) would be served; On the city limits between Osnabrück and Lotte-Büren, a new Eversburg-Büren train station is planned at the bus turning point . From here, some city bus routes could be reached more directly and quickly than with the S10 bus via Neumarkt. The standardized assessment for the project was commissioned in 2020 .
In the medium to long term, the regional transport company plans to reactivate the railway stops in Alfhausen , Belm and Vehre . The establishment of a S-Bahn network similar to that of the regional S-Bahn Bremen / Lower Saxony would also be possible by increasing the frequency of existing regional railway lines, building new train stops in and around Osnabrück and creating a uniform tariff structure . The "OS-Bahn concept" developed by PlaNOS provides ideas for a possible implementation. In this context, a connection with the planned network of the S-Bahn Münsterland would be possible, which will also connect the Osnabrück region with line 6.
Tram or light rail
In the last few decades the reintroduction of a tram or light rail in Osnabrück has been discussed again and again. Various options envisage a pure tram network that is independent of the usual railway network or a tram-train system (combination of rail and tram). The reintroduction of trolleybuses was also discussed, but this has been obsolete since the decision to introduce trolleybuses that did not depend on trolleybuses in 2015.
A tram-train system would primarily aim at better accessibility and linking the city center with the surrounding area. Since the railway lines with the main train station and the old town only touch the city center, regional railway lines from the surrounding area could be unthreaded from the railway network and reach the city center via tram tracks. This could z. B. There are no transfers at the main train station. In order to be able to offer a direct, change-free connection from the region to the Osnabrück city center with the existing local rail passenger transport , the city of Osnabrück commissioned proposals based on the Karlsruhe model in 1996 . A feasibility study was carried out by Verkehrsconsult Karlsruhe GmbH with the title “ Stadtbahn for the Osnabrück region”. However, such a model was subsequently not implemented.
A pure tram system, on the other hand, would be more geared towards inner-city connections and could replace heavily used bus routes. In the event of a realization, for example, a first line from the city center to the university locations on Westerberg would be conceivable. The tram network would not have to end at the city limits, but could also directly connect the surrounding communities via new rail lines. The different models cannot be clearly delimited and combined with one another.
In the context of a "feasibility study ÖPNV Osnabrück" by the Lindschulte + Kloppe Ingenieurgesellschaft mbH from 2013, the introduction of a tram was not recommended because it was assumed to be too low in economic efficiency. However, no cost-benefit analysis was carried out. The Osnabrück Stadtbahn Initiative is committed to the introduction of a tram or city rail system . This calls for a cost-benefit analysis based on a standardized assessment to be carried out when deciding for or against a tram , which takes greater account of the city as well as the surrounding area, and started an online petition for this in January 2020.
Sun Glider project
The private company Sun Glider AG , based in Lotte, has developed a local transport system that will essentially consist of a driverless overhead conveyor . The energy is to come from solar cells that are attached to the rail lines, and the company wants to produce the train cabins using the 3D printing process. According to the company, the construction costs per kilometer should be well below those of a tram. For Osnabrück, Sun Glider AG is proposing a network of radial and ring lines that should open up the city and the nearby and central surrounding area. The company proposes the Martinistraße / Kurt-Schumacher-Damm road as a pilot route. A feasibility study for the project is to be commissioned by the end of 2020, 50% of which will be borne by the state of Lower Saxony.
Bus traffic management in the city center
There are proposals that provide for the Neumarkt to be shut down as a central transfer stop in the future and to run the buses over the Wallring, which surrounds the city center , to the Hauptbahnhof / ZOB. There was also the idea of building a new, enlarged central bus station south of Neumarkt, which, however, was rejected by the urban development committee for urban planning and traffic reasons.
