Bus traffic in Frankfurt am Main
This article describes the bus service with a line connection to Frankfurt am Main . This is part of the local transport in Frankfurt am Main .
history
First car
The first horse-drawn bus routes between Bockenheim and Hanauer Bahnhof , the forerunner of the Ostbahnhof on Zobelstraße , via Hauptwache and between Westendplatz and Offenbacher Bahnhof ( local train station ) were opened in 1863. A third line followed later between Hauptwache and Bornheim . However, with the construction of the horse and tram lines at the end of the 19th century , bus traffic was stopped again.
First line
It was not until 1925 that a bus service with eight buses was set up again in Frankfurt. With the incorporation in 1928, bus operations were taken over by the previously independent town of Höchst .
After the Second World War
In 1951 there was a new development. Express buses , which were initially referred to as 61S or 66 , for example , ran from 1953 with special line numbers, which were also shown as red line numbers :
- 41 Hauptbahnhof - Airport (1953–1974)
- 42 Central Station – Höchst Farbwerke (1954–1955)
- 44 Goetheplatz– Nordweststadt (1965–1968)
- 45 Roßmarkt / Taunusanlage – Bad Homburg (1955–1960)
- 46 Hauptbahnhof – Offenbach Kaiserstraße (1953–1974)
Line 44 was discontinued after the completion of the Frankfurt U-Bahn . There have been no express buses in Frankfurt for a long time, but the bus routes that are subject to a surcharge still appear in the tariff information of the Rhein-Main-Verkehrsverbund (RMV).
Double decker in Frankfurt
On some lines several years were from 1967 to 1976 double-decker buses of the company Bussing used type prefect 26th In 1993 a test was carried out with a Neoplan N 4032/4 megashuttle in the fair car park feeder traffic and on line 30 between Hainer Weg and Bad Vilbel . In December 2015, a test vehicle of the type MAN ND 202 , which had been preserved in a museum at Traditionsbus Berlin, was used by the local transport company traffiQ in Frankfurt am Main to determine the acceptance by the passengers . The vehicle was formerly operated by BVG in Berlin and used for the test on line 34 in Frankfurt. This and other tests are intended to check whether double-decker buses should be used again in the future to increase capacity on certain lines in Frankfurt on which the use of articulated buses is out of the question for reasons of space. In February 2016, another test was carried out with the MAN Lion's City DD A39 on line 30 between Sachsenhausen and Bad Vilbel.
Alternative drive
The first e-bus line went into operation in Frankfurt in December 2018. Line 75 connects the university locations Bockenheim and Campus Westend . The operating company has invested 1.9 million euros in the five e-buses from the Polish manufacturer Solaris and the charging station in the depot.
By the end of 2019, 3 fuel cell buses are to be used as part of the H2Bus Rhein-Main project by the manufacturer Autosan in Sanok (Poland). The range should be 300 km with a 15 minute filling. The necessary infrastructure is provided at the already existing hydrogen filling station in the Höchst industrial park . Wiesbaden and Mainz will also receive 4 of these fuel cell buses each from mid-2019 as part of the 6-year project.
