The Busbetrieb Solothurn und Umgebung ( BSU ) is a regional public transport company in the canton of Solothurn in Switzerland . The shareholders are the canton of Solothurn (24%), the city of Solothurn (33%), the municipalities served by the BSU (24%), the Bern – Solothurn regional transport (15%) and private individuals (4%).
Ten lines with a total length of 147 kilometers provide access to the city of Solothurn, the Wasseramt district , the eastern part of the Lebern district and some neighboring communities in the canton of Bern . With 24 standard buses, 19 articulated buses and around 120 chauffeurs, 6 million passengers are carried annually. The vehicles all come from the manufacturer Mercedes-Benz from Ulm and include all generations of the O530 " Citaro ".
In the most populous communities in the agglomerations, buses run every quarter of an hour from Monday to Friday until 8 p.m., and then every half hour until shortly after midnight. On Saturday, the quarter-hourly service is from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. During the other operating hours, every half hour applies.
The first line began operating on November 13, 1930 between Solothurn and Recherswil. Over the decades, the network has been continuously expanded. The largest expansion took place in 1992 and 1994, when passenger traffic on the Solothurn – Herzogenbuchsee railway line and to Büren an der Aare was replaced by three bus routes.
