history

StSS motor vehicle in front of the Siblingen depot, 1905

SchaffhausenBus has its roots in the Schaffhausen-Schleitheim (St.SS) tram, which opened on August 8, 1905, with its terminus in the Oberwiesen district of Schleitheim . Freight traffic began on this route on September 26, 1905. On May 28, 1962, the voters of the canton of Schaffhausen decided to convert the tram operation in need of renewal to bus operation. This was taken on October 1, 1964 with the Schaffhausen-Schleitheim ASS car connection. At the same time, the Schleitheim-Beggingen post bus line was taken over by ASS. In May 1968 the community of Gächlingen was connected to the ASS network.

In November 2000, the canton's voters decided with a large majority to convert ASS into a stock corporation under the name of Regionale Verkehrsbetriebe Schaffhausen RVSH AG. In July 2003 RVSH signed a cooperation agreement with PostBus Switzerland . With the integration of the four previous postbus lines (lines 22 to 25) in the canton, a network of five intercity bus lines was created under uniform management and a new brand name: SchaffhausenBus .

In December 2013, the Schaffhausen S-Bahn started operating on the Schaffhausen - Wilchingen / Hallau - Erzingen railway line (a section of the German Hochrheinbahn ). The new line 27 was opened as a shuttle bus from Oberhallau / Hallau and Wilchingen / Osterfingen to Wilchingen-Hallau train station. Until now, these villages have been developed by the German Südbadenbus GmbH (SBG) . Since it is now purely Swiss domestic traffic, Südbadenbus GmbH would have had to open a company headquarters in Switzerland for the license renewal. The SBG continues to operate cross-border traffic in the upper part of the canton between Stein am Rhein and the German Singen am Hohentwiel as well as in the direction of Öhningen and Radolfzell . Line 28, which was also reopened in December 2013, is operated by the subcontractor Weder Transport, Schaffhausen.

history

Bus operations began in 1964 with six Saurer buses . Like rail cars, these were divided into smoking and non-smoking compartments. They also had a separate luggage compartment. Thanks to two passenger trailers (in operation until 1995), the capacity could almost be doubled at peak times. In 1968 two more Saurer buses were added. In 1972 the first two Saurer articulated buses were purchased. Until the postage was discontinued in 2004, the company also had postage trailers.

Overview:

  • 6 Saurer 5 DUK buses (1964–1986 / 88)
