The Städtische Verkehrsbetriebe Salzburg was an Austrian transport company from Salzburg . They were founded in 1940 when the Salzburg tram was replaced by the Salzburg trolleybus . While the tram was still operated by the private Salzburg Railway and Tramway Company (SETG) on behalf of the city, the city of Salzburg took over the operation of the trolleybus itself. The company dealt with here was founded specifically for this purpose, so it was a municipal company . In the beginning this was a pure trolleybus operator , there were no municipal bus routes at that time. In addition to the company name Städtische Verkehrsbetriebe Salzburg and the city coat of arms, the vehicles also had the addition of a trolleybus in some cases .
On October 1, 1948, the SETG, which had been in the possession of the city since January 1, 1947, was integrated into the municipal transport company of Salzburg. From then on, they were also a railway company and operated the Salzburg – St. Leonhard , the Salzburg – Lamprechtshausen railway line , the funicular to the Hohensalzburg Fortress and - on behalf of the Stiegl brewery in Salzburg - the so-called Stieglbahn .
In 1950 the company was dissolved and merged with the Salzburg municipal electricity company, founded in 1887, to form the new company, Salzburger Stadtwerke . Urban bus traffic was also started in 1950. Today's successor company is Salzburg AG, founded on September 15, 2000 .
