Zügel operates two bus routes within the Heilbronn Hohenloher Haller Nahverkehr (HNV) . Regional Bus Stuttgart (RBS) also operates other scheduled trips as a subcontractor .
history
The company was founded in 1931 by Ernst Zügel, then 23 years old. He initially offered taxi rides and patient transports in a Hanomag car. Two years later he used a converted truck as the first bus . He took up a regular service between Heilbronn and Wüstenrot. The first bus came to Zügel in 1934, and a brand-new touring coach for the first time in 1935 . From 1936 to 1937, the fleet was expanded to include other used buses. Between 1939 and 1945 the buses were partly compulsory and converted to wood gasifiers due to a lack of fuel .
After 1945, competition developed between the Zügel line and Kraftpost , which also operated a line between Heilbronn and Wüstenrot. From 1987 on, the Bahnbus, as the successor to Kraftpost and Zügel, accepted each other's tickets on weekends and published each other's weekend trips. The cooperation between Heilbronn, the Sulmtal and the Löwensteiner Mountains with Regional Bus Stuttgart was strengthened from August 1st, 1989: From then on, tickets were mutually recognized on all weekdays and the timetables were coordinated. This model served as a model for further collaborations within the Heilbronn district.
On January 1, 2008, Omnibusverkehr Zügel took over the Auto Braun company from Bubenorbis , where Zügel's second depot is located today.
