Local public transport in Jena is operated by Jenaer Nahverkehr GmbH on behalf of the city. The company is wholly owned by Stadtwerke Jena GmbH .
The tram is of great importance in local public transport in Jena . For a German city with just under 110,000 inhabitants, this has to be seen as a peculiarity, since trams no longer run in cities of comparable size, especially in western Germany. The reason for this is the transport policy of the GDR and the further promotion and preference given to rail transport in the city after the fall of the Wall . In addition to the five main lines of the tram system, there is a city bus network .
history
On April 1, 1901, the first tram line in Jena was taken down by the police and has been used regularly since April 16. In 1928 the bus service was established in Jena. Initially the fare was 10 pfennigs . No transfer authorization was included. The rails were used by 17 multiple units, four side cars and four freight cars.
Until 1945
On February 3, 1903, the first high-profile tram accident occurred in Quergasse. A railcar drove down Wagnergasse at increased speed and derailed in the curve to Quergasse. There was no personal injury, only the railcar broke. On June 30, 1908, the rail network was expanded to mark the 350th anniversary of the Friedrich Schiller University . The tram line continued from Schubertsburg via Kahlaische Strasse to Burgau . Conductors were used for the first time on January 1, 1909. The tickets now cost between 10 and 30 pfennigs. Weekly and monthly tickets were also offered for workers and schoolchildren . Since August 3, 1909, the wood market has been set up as the central hub of Jena local transport. It is still the largest transfer point for local transport and, thanks to its proximity to the bus station and the Paradiesbahnhof, it is also connected to national transport. The first maintenance work on the rail network had to be carried out in 1910, and in 1911 ten railcars were equipped with electrical heaters. The employees still had to continue to work on open platforms. The route from the city center to Jena-East was inaugurated on May 30, 1914. Initially, the trains ran from Steinweg over the then newly built Camsdorfer Bridge to the “Grünen Tanne” inn. After that, five new and powerful railcars were bought from the Görlitz wagon factory . These were equipped with glazed platforms. During the First World War , tram traffic had to be restricted. Due to the shortage of men, women were used as conductors for the first time. The post office and the Zeiss main plant received their sidings and were thus connected to the train stations by tram. From then on, the tram transported goods and mail through the city. On September 14, 1917, the War Ministry ordered severe tram traffic restrictions. Due to this, the Botzstraße-Mühltal line is discontinued.
After the war the fare was increased to RM . The prices rose due to inflation to eight RM, whereupon the passengers stayed away. On October 19, 1922, the tram service was completely stopped. The Spittelplatz - Schlachthof section was expanded to two tracks in 1925, and since 1926 a signal system has been regulating traffic from the Holzmarkt at the Red Tower. In 1928 the first two bus routes were introduced in Jena. They traveled from the valley school via the city center (Holzmarkt) and separated here to go to Sickingenstrasse or the Tatzendpromenade to Lichtenberger Platz. However, they did not generate the expected income. On July 1, 1929, the first five new railcars from Gotha were put into service. A year later, five more were added. The last surviving line of this series is the historic railcar 26. Since 1931 the tram line to Mühltahl no longer ran through Quergasse and Bachstrasse, but directly through Wagnergasse. In 1932 bus traffic was again greatly reduced. In April 1935, the city center - Lobeda line went into service after the construction of the Saale bridge in Burgau. This means that at the end of 1936 the tram network had an extension of 18.33 kilometers. In 1937 ten well-preserved railcars were taken over from the neighboring city of Weimar . Six of these cars were converted into sidecars. On January 6, 1938, a second attempt at bus transport began with five buses. In 1939 the tram lines were changed. The three now ran as follows: Lobeda - Holzmarkt - Zwätze, Jena-Ost - Holzmarkt - Mühltal and Westbahnhof - Holzmarkt - Saalbahnhof.
During the Second World War , the lack of materials and personnel made it difficult to maintain local transport. In addition, the number of transports increased enormously. The operation of the trams is restricted more and more until it is completely stopped in April 1945 after air raids on Jena and the blowing up of the Camsdorf bridge.
1946-1990
On July 13, 1946, tram traffic was resumed over the rebuilt Camsdorfer Bridge from the city center to Jena-Ost. In 1948, used tracks had to be removed and bus traffic could not be maintained at times due to an acute shortage of spare parts for vehicles and rail systems. On July 1, 1949, VEB (K) Städtischer Verkehr Jena was founded , which finally separated rail operations from electrical energy generation. The first delivery of tram vehicles from GDR production took place in 1951 by LOWA . In 1954, due to the economic upturn, more vehicles followed. In addition, the tram infrastructure could be improved. In 1955, the first H6B buses drove in Jena. In 1958, the principle of the sight card railcar was introduced. The driver checked the tickets when boarding the railcar. Conductors were still used in the sidecar. In 1960, 16 vehicles used the city's bus routes. From 1961 to 1962 the VEB expanded the Scharnhorststraße - hospital and Paradiesbahnhof - Felsenkeller sections to two tracks. On May 15, 1963, tram line 3 (Westbahnhof - Holzmarkt - Saalbahnhof) was closed. The so-called station line should be used by other means of transport in the future. There was resentment among the population at the "squeaking tram that hindered traffic". It was to be replaced by buses, the procurement and maintenance costs of which were lower.
In 1964, the route was extended from the former terminus in Zwatzen to today's terminus in Zwatzen Loop. With the construction of the turning loop, one-way vehicles could be used in Jena for the first time. On June 23, 1969, another turning loop was set up at the Winzerla terminus. Local transport became more and more difficult to cope with due to the large population growth. Therefore, in 1966 an expert opinion to solve the local traffic problem was drawn up. The tram line between Alt-Lobeda and Winzerla was closed on June 16, 1967. The reason for the discontinuation was the progress of construction of the expressway between the city center and Lobeda. Two years later, on June 1, 1969, bus route 16, Mühltal - Neu-Lobeda, went into operation. The bus fleet had to be increased after more and more people settled in Lobeda-West, -Ost and Winzerla.
By 1971, the tram route north to the Milchhof (now Kaufland) was expanded to two tracks. At the same time, it became apparent that bus transportation to Lobeda was too expensive. A high number of passengers and, in some cases, unsuitable bus stocks for mass traffic meant that the buses had to run every minute during rush hour - until at least 1977, a few two-axle vehicles were still in use after Neulobeda; In addition, due to a lack of alternatives, the company had to purchase around 15 Ikarus 280s (partly used) in a two-door overland version. The line bundle to Neulobeda was soon divided into two variants: lines 11 and 12 with stops at each stop (signposted in black) and the red signposted "Schnellverkehr" (later lines 21 and 22), which runs at the stops Jenertal, Sportforum, Neuwöllnitz and Wöllnitz did not last. With line 22, depending on the type of bus, travel times between the city center and Lobeda-West were 10 to 12 minutes; this value has not been reached again since the 1980s.
Due to the oil crisis, the number of passengers increased again significantly. Overcrowded bus stops were part of the cityscape (stationary check-in personnel were deployed in the city center to speed boarding); the necessity of the tram for passenger transport became increasingly clear. In 1974 the bus depot in Burgau was completed. In 1975, pressure validators replaced the payment boxes , and punched validators later came to Jena with used buses from other cities. In 1976, on the 75th birthday of the Jena tram, the new traditional railcar No. 26 from Eisenach was presented; the almost identical cars in Jena had been taken out of service shortly beforehand. Thus in 1977 28 railcars and 52 sidecars used the three tram lines 1 (Holzmarkt - Nord II - Zwätz), 1E (Holzmarkt - Nord II (only during rush hour)) and 2 (Jena-Ost - Holzmarkt - Winzerla). The bus routes were used by 93 vehicles of the types Ikarus 66 to 280 . In 1979 the “Beutenberg” passing point was reconstructed and from 1981 onwards the official talk of the great importance of the tram for local public transport was again made. That is why studies were carried out to connect the new Lobeda development area to the rail network.
In 1984 the line to Winzerla was expanded to double tracks. On September 27, 1987 the tram network was redesigned. From then on, line 1 ran from Zwätze to Winzerla and line 2 only went from Jena-Ost to the Holzmarkt.
Since 1990
On July 1, 1990, the Jenaer Nahverkehrsgesellschaft mbH was founded from the VEB (K) Verkehrsbetriebe of the city of Jena.
JeNah initially renewed the existing rail network and the control system. In addition, the Ikarus buses were replaced by low-floor buses after reunification. Since 1995 the trams have also been gradually replaced by low-floor trams. In March 2003 Gotha trains were last used on Line 1. Most of the old railcars were sold (for example to İstanbul Ulaşım ), the last sidecars scrapped in 2006.
In addition to the renovation, the Lobeda district was again connected to local public transport via the tram network. In return, the bus lines that had previously operated on the expressway to Lobeda are no longer available. Bus line 41 was later used again to connect the towns on the expressway ( Wöllnitz and Neuwöllnitz) to public transport.
In addition, the city center hub was restructured. The city center stop was subdivided again into Holzmarkt, Löbdergraben and Teichgraben. The parts are separated between the main branch of the Sparkasse and the tram underpass (Löbdergraben / Holzmarkt) and at the level of Nonnengasse / old university building (Holzmarkt / Teichgraben). The tram tracks were removed from the Neugasse and led from the Sparkasse through the Holzmarktpassage (tram underpass) to the Volksbad. This is where the lines to Burgau and Winzerla separate. The former passes under the Saalbahn and follows the expressway (from Hst Sportforum to Burgau through the Wöllnitzer Wiesen), the latter follows the Saalbahn towards the south and then continues towards the Ringwiese - Winzerla.
A tram stop at Ernst-Abbe-Platz was also created in the city center. This is located directly on the new campus of the Friedrich Schiller University. It is connected to the Goethe Galerie shopping center via a side exit on the campus .
The first digital information pillars were set up at the Ernst-Abbe-Platz, Löbdergraben (4) / Holzmarkt / Teichgraben (center) and Burgaupark (3) stops . From 2011, further information pillars followed at the stops Universität, Emil-Wölk-Straße, Lobeda-West, Damaschkeweg and Winzerla. All trams and buses in use today, as well as some stops, are equipped with ticket machines. No tickets can be purchased from the drivers.
In addition to the construction work on the rail network, a new depot was built in Burgau. It was the first to replace the old parking yard in Jena-Zwätze and over time it will also replace the depot North.
MAN Lion's City low-floor buses have been tested since 2005 and several standard and articulated wagons of this type have been purchased. With the delivery of cars 241–246 (end of 2007, for the first time in Jena with LED exterior displays), the last Mercedes buses ( O405 N2 , cars 210–215) were replaced; z. Currently (May 2008) JeNah has a pure MAN fleet of 39 buses. The MAN low-floor standard buses built between 1995 and 1998 were retrofitted with soot particle filters and will remain in stock for the time being. The remaining 6 MAN articulated buses built in 1992/1993 are to be replaced; In 2008, the Hess lighTram Hybrid as a hybrid bus and a trailer train were tested on line 10, both of which were not fully satisfactory on the steep line. Further tests with more powerful vehicles are to follow until the new type to be procured is finally determined.
In 2005–2006, the ticket machines at the bus stops were replaced by more modern ones (with touch-sensitive displays) made by Scheidt & Bachmann .
On April 1, 2006, the Jena local transport network was included in the newly established Central Thuringia network tariff (VMT / “Voll-Mobil-Ticket”) as “Zone 30”.
From the end of July to the end of August 2006, the level crossing between the Holzmarkt / Löbdergraben and Grietgasse stops (from / to the Paradiesbahnhof / Phyletisches Museum stop (today: Paradiesbahnhof West )) was closed to rail traffic. Since the opening of the tram route from / towards Oberaue until recently, the planum has had to be renewed several times at this point.
In October 2007, additional digital information pillars were erected in the vicinity of the Paradies- and Westbahnhof .
The four Urbino 18 articulated buses from the Polish company Solaris Bus & Coach, which were ordered in March 2009 and valued at 1.2 million euros, were delivered in mid-July. In addition, the standard bus fleet has been strengthened by further Urbino 12 buses from Solaris. This was the first time that MAN changed from the previous main supplier to another manufacturer. The bus fleet now consists of a total of 39 vehicles, including twelve articulated buses. The modernization of the bus fleet is now complete.
Since December 18, 2009, buses and trams have been running on the current line network.
On October 11, 2011, Udo Beran was appointed as the new managing director of Jenaer Nahverkehr GmbH, who will manage the business together with Bernhard Graduszewski from January 1, 2012. From March 1, 2013 to July 8, 2014 he was the sole manager.

tram
The trams have been running in Jena since 1901. Today they are on five main lines. 38 low-floor trams operate on the 62.31 kilometers of the route. 33 vehicles of type GT6M-ZR and 5 Solaris Tramino . They carried 11,740,373 passengers in 2004. The following tram lines have been operating since December 11, 2017.
- line 1
- Lobeda-West - Göschwitz - City Center (Löbdergraben) - Naumburger Str. - (Zwatzen - Since September 2018 in SEV from Altenburger Str.). Line 1 from Lobeda-West via Göschwitz and the city center to Zwätze in the north. Up to a few hundred meters in the north, your line has been expanded to two tracks. Since September 2018 there has been a replacement tram service between Altenburger Str. And Zwätze for lines 1 and 4.The reason is the reconstruction of the route between Naumburger Str. And Löbstedt in preparation for the new line towards Himmelreich.
- Line 2
- Jena Ost - city center (Löbdergraben) - Damaschkeweg - Winzerla. Every second tram on line 2 becomes line 3 in Winzerla and continues to Lobeda-Ost.
- Line 3
- Winzerla - Burgaupark - Göschwitz, train station - Lobeda-West - Lobeda-Ost. From Winzerla, line 3 continues as line 2 to Jena-Ost
- Line 4
- Lobeda-West - Altlobeda - Burgaupark - City Center (Löbdergraben) - Naumburger Str. - (Zwätze - Since September 2018 in SEV from Altenburger Str. - see Line 1). Line 4 runs from Lobeda-West via Burgau and the Oberaue to the city center and from here to Zwätze. This means that it has the same route from Burgau as line 1.
- Line 5
- Lobeda-Ost - Burgau Park - city center (Holzmarkt) - Ernst-Abbe-Platz. Line 5 runs from Lobeda-Ost to Burgau and from here also through the Oberaue to the city center, where it ends on the campus of the Friedrich Schiller University (Ernst-Abbe-Platz stop).
Before the 2017 timetable change, there were three evening and one night line. The line numbers originally consisted of the digits of two day lines, on the route of which the night line mostly operated. Later this was partially deviated from. The lines were given numbers in the thirties range. These lines ran every 30 minutes from 9 p.m. to midnight and on weekends in early morning traffic. Line 34 between 1 and 4 a.m. every 40
Diese Nachtlinien waren vor 2017 in der Nacht im Einsatz
- Line 33
- Jena-Ost - city center (Löbdergraben) - city center (Holzmarkt) - Ernst-Abbe-Platz.
This line ran daily from 9 p.m. to 12 a.m. and replaced line 2 in Jena-Ost. Earlier names of this line were 2 and 25
- Line 34
- Zwätz - City Center (Löbdergraben) - Damaschkeweg - Winzerla - Burgau Park - Lobeda - Lobeda-West -Lobeda -East
This night line ran daily from midnight to 4 a.m. and replaced lines 1 and 4 in Jena Nord and lines 2 and 3 in Winzerla and Lobeda. The previous name of this line before 2009 was line 31.
- Line 35
- Lobeda-Ost - Lobeda-West - Göschwitz, train station - city center (Holzmarkt) - Ernst-Abbe-Platz.
This line ran daily from 9 p.m. to midnight and replaced lines 5 and 3 between the city center and Lobeda-Ost as well as in the Göschwitz industrial park.
In the past there was also a connection to the West (via Engelplatz) and the Saalbahnhof. In addition, a tram line ran on the old route of bus line 16 through Wagnergasse and August-Bebel-Straße into the Mühltal (from Jena Ost past the Saaltor). Line 1 also ran through Neugasse (the former Gleisdreieck branched off at the Holzmarkt stop). In addition, the route (...) - Winzerla - Burgau - (Lobeda - ...) - across the border road with the notorious narrow bend could be found in the Burgau local area. In addition, there was an extensive post rail connection (Engelplatz) and, after the Second World War, the so-called “rubble railway” on and around the market.
The tram routes are also provided by a party train, two traditional trains (TW 26, TW 27), a Gotha train (TW 101, BW 155, BW 156), a Reko train (TW 134, BW 187, BW 189) and a driving school train (TW 145, BW 197, BW 199) drive on. The party tram is a tram that was rebuilt in 2004 and also includes a small disco, a closed toilet and a bar. It was moved from Heidelberg to Jena before the extensive renovation. In addition, there are six Gotha motor vehicles and two associated sidecars.
On November 9, 2013, the Solaris Tramino, the new generation of trams for Jena, was presented, which will increase the fleet to 38 vehicles. An extension of tram lines 1 and 4 to the district of Himmelreich (Zwatzen) is planned for the period up to 2020.
bus
The Jena local transport bus network connects almost all the towns in the city. Jena has 13 bus routes 10 , 11 , 12 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 18 , 28 , 41 , 42 , 43 , 47 and 48 . All lines, with the exception of the connecting lines 41 , 43 and 48 , meet at the city center / bus station (depending on the direction and destination at Hst Holzmarkt, Löbdergraben). JeNah is now trying to establish the Burgaupark and Damaschkeweg stops as further nodes.

Monorail
In the mid-1960s, the local transport network in Jena was completely overloaded. In the 1970s, the situation continued to deteriorate due to the expansion of various routes and problems with the superstructure . In addition, the steady population development in Jena was accompanied by a growing number of passengers, which placed additional demands on the transport network. So the idea of a monorail was born. It was supposed to connect the most important Jena residential areas from Neu-Lobeda to Nord II. The planning phase lasted two years, the construction phase should begin in 1975. The costs were estimated at 165 to 175 million marks. Among other things, 30 or 28 required double railcars of an Alwegbahn from the “non-socialist economic area” were to be purchased for this. The comparison of costs with the tram / bus variant of August 30, 1968 led to the statement that the monorail was 84.3 million marks more expensive than this, but would have paid for itself after 14 years due to the difference in operating costs. Nevertheless, on August 18, 1971 in Berlin it was decided that the building would exceed the capacities of the GDR.
