Dopravný podnik Bratislava, akciová spoločnosť , abbreviated DPB , literally Verkehrsbetrieb Bratislava AG, is a Slovak transport company based in Bratislava . It is wholly owned by the city of Bratislava and, apart from the railway companies, is the only public transport operator in the Slovak capital.
history
The company was founded in June 1898 under the Hungarian name Pozsonyi Város Villamos Vasút (PVVV) and was a subsidiary of the local electricity company Pozsonyi Villamossági Részvénytársaság (PVRT). As a result of the assignment of Upper Hungary to the newly founded Czechoslovakia , the company changed its name after the First World War as Bratislavská mestská elektrická železnica (BMEŽ.) And finally in 1922 in Bratislavská elektrická účastinná spoločnosť (BEÚ.S.) renamed. From 1935 the company was also the majority owner of Elektrická lokálna železnica Bratislava-krajinská hranica , which owned the Czechoslovak section of the Bratislava Railway .
