The REVG Rhein-Erft-Verkehrsgesellschaft mbH was designed by the sole shareholder Rhein-Erft-Kreis in 1992 as a pure management company. The entire mileage was provided by Regionalverkehr Köln as general contractor until the end of 2018 . Since January 1, 2019, REVG has been a conventional transport company with its own depot and its own staff. In total, REVG provides more than 7 million timetable kilometers per year, of which it drives 51 percent of the bus traffic itself. The remaining 49 percent of the journeys are made by the contracting company Busverkehr Rheinland (BVR). This awards the annual output to private bus companies in the Rhein-Erft district. Local taxi companies handle the collective call taxi traffic (around 0.2 million AST kilometers).

In accordance with the public service contract of the Rhein-Erft district, the REVG provides regular transport with 41 bus lines, 7 call collective taxi lines and a citizen bus line in Bergheim- Fliestedten , which partly also serves the Pulheim district of Stommeln .

development

The district committee of the Rhein-Erft district passed the resolution on September 28, 2017 to expand the REVG into a transport company with its own depot, vehicles and drivers. The basis was the entry into force of EU regulation 1370/2007. On March 15, 2018, the district council decided on the public service contract (ÖDA) for the REVG, which came into force on January 1, 2019, the day the REVG started operations and is valid until the end of 2028.

The REVG depot is located in the Kerpen- Türnich industrial area .

Lines

The REVG holds the permits for 41 bus routes and 7 collective call taxi concessions as well as a citizen bus. The main line network has a total length of 872 kilometers. On an average operating day, the timetable comprises around 1,870 journeys, which serve around 1,300 bus stops. The mileage in 2018 was over 7.3 million timetable kilometers; a total of 14.4 million passengers were carried with one REVG ticket.

Tickets are sold through the drivers and the REVG-FahrgastCenter in Frechen as well as the private advance booking offices, which offer tickets and tariff advice, timetable documents (e.g. mini timetables) and general (tariff) information on local public transport.
