Moonliner
Moonliner is a night transport network in Switzerland . Moonliner buses operate on 43 bus routes in the cantons of Bern , Solothurn , Jura , Friborg and Lucerne . The bus network is operated by the night line company , which consists of the following ten members: Aare Seeland mobil , Automobilverkehr Frutigen-Adelboden AG , Autoverkehr Grindelwald AG , Bernmobil , Busbetrieb Solothurn und Umgebung , Busland AG , PostAuto Schweiz AG ,Regional traffic Bern – Solothurn , Verkehrsbetriebe Biel and Verkehrsbetriebe STI . The night line company is managed by Bernmobil.
The night line company is largely financed by ticket sales. The 250 municipalities served take on an income deficit. Since public transport offers are not eligible for compensation at night, the night line company does not receive any financial support from the cantons.
In 2013, around 289,700 passengers used a Moonliner bus in a catchment area of around 750,000 residents.
history
Night buses have been operating in the Bern agglomeration since 1984. In 1997 the various offers were combined and have been run under the name Moonliner ever since. The Moonliner network was expanded in December 2007 with the new departure stations in Biel and Solothurn. The latest expansion of the bus network took place on May 4, 2012 with six new lines in the Thun agglomeration.
Rates
The costs for a one-way trip depend on the zone and range from 6 to 27 francs. Subscriptions (z. B. Halbtax and General Subscription (GA)) are not valid on the MOONLINER buses.
