history

Until 2009 the company was called Kreisverkehrsgesellschaft Riesa-Großenhain (KVRG). It was the transport company for the Riesa-Großenhain district , which was dissolved in the Saxon district reform in 2008 , which acted as the parent company for seven private bus companies. With the timetable change in December 2009, all lines of the KVRG were transferred to the Meißen transport company , which now also creates the timetables for the private bus companies.

In 2008, the KVRG served 421 stops with 37 bus routes, two of them in the city ​​of Grossenhain and five in the city of Riesa . 4.8 million passengers were carried over a distance of 4.4 million kilometers. The KVRG had twelve employees. The company was owned by the Meißen district and the company's headquarters were in Großenhain.

On December 17, 2009, the KVRG became the Meißen roundabout company. The name change to KVM was necessary because the district could no longer commission the bus company directly according to an EU directive. Six smaller bus companies, the transport company Meißen , the Regionalverkehr Dresden GmbH as well as ferries and the tram of the Dresden transport company are organized in the umbrella company KVM .
