The DB Bahn Urban GmbH , headquartered in Frankfurt am Main was responsible for bus services and urban transport in Germany subsidiary of Deutsche Bahn AG .

Companies

The company and the business area of ​​the same name in the DB Group were founded in 2004. The urban transport segment included 22 bus companies and more than 70 other holdings in transport companies and associations . The DB Bahn Urban was responsible for operational control and supervision of all companies in the segment, but which are not investments stopped this. The parent company of the companies was DB Regio AG , which also operates the suburban railways in the other regions, which are not part of the urban transport segment .

The S-Bahn Berlin and the S-Bahn Hamburg, previously part of DB Stadtverkehr , were assigned to DB Regio AG on March 1, 2010 . This was done in response to problems with the S-Bahn in Berlin.

DB Stadtverkehr emerged from the postal service of the former Deutsche Bundespost and the rail bus services of the former Deutsche Bundesbahn . At the end of the 1970s, the two areas were gradually merged. The regional bus companies emerged. Today they form the core of the bus division of DB Stadtverkehr .

Every day more than three million passengers used the buses and suburban trains from DB Stadtverkehr . DB Stadtverkehr operated a fleet of around 4,300 own buses and a further 6,000 rented buses . The company has cooperations with more than 1500 small and medium-sized bus companies. In 2007, the S-Bahn and buses provided a traffic performance of around 13.3 billion passenger kilometers . In the mid-2000s, 48 ​​percent of Deutsche Bahn passengers took buses and S-Bahn trains.

The company operated 12,500 buses (as of 2008). According to its own information, the company was the leading provider of public transport on the road. Its market share in this area was nine percent in 2007.

On October 1, 2006, Herrmann Graf von der Schulenburg was appointed managing director to succeed Andreas Meyer . In 2007 around 12,000 employees generated sales of 1.8 billion euros and a profit of 166 million euros.

On December 31, 2010, DB Stadtverkehr was dissolved and the bus business was incorporated into DB Regio AG . This was justified with the takeover of Arriva by Deutsche Bahn AG in 2010 as well as with Regulation (EU) No. 1370/2007 , which initially prevents entry into municipal urban transport.
