The bus GmbH Sachsen was a regional bus company in the space Chemnitz . On January 1, 2011, Autobus Sachsen merged with BVO Verkehrsbetriebe Erzgebirge GmbH and then bore this name. On April 12, 2011 the name was changed to Regionalverkehr Erzgebirge .
history
The roots of the company go back to 1912, when the state vehicle administration and later Kraftverkehrsgesellschaft Sachsen AG were founded . In 1970 VEB Kraftverkehr Karl-Marx-Stadt was founded, from which Kraftverkehr AG Chemnitz emerged in the course of privatization. Autobus GmbH Sachsen was formed on July 1, 1991 through a spin-off and municipalization.
In 1992 the Eppendorf branch and the Erdmannsdorf – Augustusburg cable car were spun off. The first connection point for trams and regional buses was set up in Chemnitz-Schönau in 2001 .
Operating areas
Public transport
Autobus Sachsen operated 53 regional routes. The traffic was handled via locations in Limbach-Oberfrohna , Lugau and Zschopau . In addition, the city bus services were operated in Hohenstein-Ernstthal, Stollberg and Zschopau.
In the city triangle Stollberg - Oelsnitz - Lugau , traffic was handled on the Green Line . It was an intersection of regional and city traffic with two lines (as of October 2008). The buses ran in a uniform design that differed from the rest of the company. Attention was paid to favorable connections at the Stollberg station to the City-Bahn (of which a 40% share is held) and to a number of regional bus routes . The lines are served every hour and every half hour during rush hour.
Long-distance bus
Long - distance transport within Germany has been offered since 2002. Seasonal regular services between Chemnitz and Usedom , Rügen , Zingst and Rerik were operated.
International long-distance traffic existed from Zwickau, Marienberg and Chemnitz to Karlovy Vary - Marienbad and Lake Balaton . The concession for the Chemnitz – Karlovy Vary line had existed since 1972 - at that time for VEB Kraftverkehr.
Other business areas
The company owned two bus stations , the Chemnitz bus station and the Zschopau bus station .
The company also offered bus trips. This included individual trips, day trips, multi-day trips as well as school and group trips. The tour operator "ReiseGenuss" was a joint brand with REGIOBUS GmbH Mittelachsen and was continued after the merger to form RVE.
