Saxony bus

The following items appear since 2011 is out of date to be : The company is also still in 2019. Approx. In 2010/2011, in my opinion, there was no merger with the RVE . Rather, the latter has probably carried out a "partial takeover", see here . The data in the info box may be correct, as 2009 is expressly above it as the reference year. But in 2019 none of this is true anymore. The aforementioned managing directors are out, as is the Erzgebirgskreis.
Please help to research and insert the missing information .

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 .

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.
