The Magdeburg transport company (short MVB ) is a near transport companies in Magdeburg . It operates a 126.9-kilometer-long track network on which nine tram lines and 15 city bus routes (two tram routes and seven night bus routes in night traffic ) operate. In August 2016, the company operated 94 trams (including eleven sidecars) and 59 buses (including 30 articulated buses ).
The company has three depots (tram: north , south-east ; bus: Kroatenwuhne). There is also a main tram workshop in Brückfeld and a historic tram depot in Sudenburg .
history
From 1877 the Magdeburg Horse Railway Company opened up to three lines in a north-south direction. The offer was not extended to the western and eastern parts of the city because the city's conditions for the construction of the route were not accepted. For this reason, these routes are being opened by the newly founded Magdeburge Trambahn-Actien-Gesellschaft . Between 1886 and 1900 a steam tram ran to the Herrenkrug. Both companies are merged in 1897 and with the beginning of the electrification of all routes, the Magdeburger Straßen-Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft (MSEG) is founded as the successor company.
To develop remote parts of the city and the city of Schönebeck , Magdeburger Vorortbahnen AG was founded in 1912 , but the line did not start operating until 1921 due to the turmoil of the First World War. As early as 1923 the administration was merged with the MSEG. The two companies only finally merged after the Second World War.
The first bus routes were set up in 1929 to open up other parts of the city with a not very high passenger potential. Like many German cities, Magdeburg suffered severe destruction at the end of the war in 1945, and the following years did not bring about any major modernization of the facilities or vehicle fleet due to the poor supply situation. Some routes in the old town and old new town were not put back into operation.
After the MSEG was renamed Magdeburger Straßenbahn-AG in 1938 , it was converted into VEB (K) Magdeburger Verkehrsbetriebe (MVB) in 1951 . After forty years of state-owned operation, the Verkehrsbetriebe became a joint stock company again in 1991 . From this the current GmbH was created in 1999 .
From the mid-1960s, various routes were discontinued - usually with the changeover to bus operation. Due to the sharp rise in oil prices in the mid-1970s and early 80s, as well as the construction of large prefabricated building areas, the Magdeburg tramway was greatly expanded from 1975 onwards. Numerous bus routes have been replaced by trams or shut down without replacement. Between 1983 and 1989 there was even a freight transport of cars in order to save fuel.
In 2006, two bus routes were awarded to Verkehrsgesellschaft Magdeburg Umland mbH, one company half owned by MVB and half by Vetter GmbH . The buses remained the property of MVB and were rented out for this purpose. The wholly-owned subsidiary Magdeburger Verkehrsgesellschaft mbH was founded on January 1, 2007 to expand outsourcing . Since then, this has taken over individual courses on the other bus routes. On January 1, 2008, the company's operations were terminated.
During the floods in Central Europe in 2013 , the northern depot in Rothensee was flooded. The second large depot in the south-east in Westerhüsen was also not accessible because the tracks there were flooded. The trams had been brought into the city area on time. The Südring, Westring and Europaring section served as a parking space and for minor maintenance work at night. It was not until the summer of 2014 that the Rothensee section of the route, in which the northern depot is located, was at least temporarily put back into operation.
Daytime traffic
Since the major timetable and line network change on July 13, 2015, the Magdeburg daily timetable has been in effect for fifteen bus and nine tram lines on weekdays from 5 a.m. to 11 p.m. On Sundays, daytime traffic doesn't start until 7 a.m. The two ferry lines Buckau and Westerhüsen ferry lines also belong to the daytime traffic.

(As of December 15, 2019)
In the bus sector, lines to Werner-von-Siemens-Ring, Bördepark, Pechau / Calenberge / Randau and Großer Silberberg were reopened after 1989. However, the industrial site is no longer served by MVB buses. A line that has been operated between Neustädter See and Pfahlberg no longer operates either.
With the construction of additional tram routes, it is planned to link line 52 in the Westring area with line 55. Line 54 from the direction of Bördepark is to end in Sudenburg in the future. The new tram line 8 is to gradually replace the bus line 69 completely.
Night traffic
In night traffic, six bus and two tram lines meet at the central Alter Markt transfer station. Before the major timetable change in July 2015, this task was fulfilled by the Damaschkeplatz / ZOB stop, which is no longer available due to the bridge renovation and tunnel construction at Magdeburg Central Station . The follow-up meetings take place daily at 11:15 p.m., 11:45 p.m., 12:15 a.m., 12:45 a.m., 1:15 a.m., 2:15 a.m., 3:15 a.m. and 4:15 a.m. and also on Sundays at 5:00 a.m. 3 p.m. and 6:15 a.m. In addition, the night network has a further, but decentralized call bus line compared to the other lines.

In Magdeburg there are currently 83 modern low-floor trams of the type NGT 8D, of which 25 are from the first generation (wagon numbers 1301 to 1325), 28 from the second generation (1326 to 1353) and 19 from the third generation (1354 to 1372). The commissioning of the fourth generation (car numbers 1373 to 1383) began in autumn 2012 and was completed in early 2013. The low-floor multiple units have been in use since 1995 and are gradually replacing the old Tatra stock. Magdeburger Verkehrsbetriebe has been using a single-type tram fleet since January 27, 2013, consisting of 83 low-floor articulated multiple units NGT 8D and 11 modernized Tatra B6A2-MOD vehicles.
In addition, there are 4 Tatra T6A2 railcars and 2 Tatra B6A2 sidecars in use, which are coupled to form 3 trains (1 × railcar + railcar and 2 × railcars + trailer). These have been in use again as planned since April 2017.
