history
The Eßlinger Städtische Straßenbahn company was founded on the occasion of the opening of the Esslingen am Neckar tram on May 24, 1912 . However, the Stuttgart trams (SSB) were commissioned to carry out the practical operation . The changeover to trolleybuses that took place in 1944 led to a change in the company's name, but did not change this situation. The basis for the operation by the SSB was a joint partnership agreement . Only after this was terminated in 1950 did the SVE take over the operation of the trolleybus from the SSB on January 1, 1951, and at the same time became a municipal company. On July 1, 1953, the first omnibus line was set up in addition to the two trolleybus routes. This was line 3 to the garden city of Oberesslingen .
As part of the Esslinger Verkehrs-Gemeinschaft (EVG) founded on February 1, 1968, there is also a transport association with the private transport companies Fischle , Schefenacker and Schlienz under the leadership of the SVE . He is responsible for coordinating the timetable and tariffs. Initially, only transfer tickets were offered, from 1979/1980 a real community tariff. In 1993 the Stuttgart Transport and Tariff Association (VVS) replaced the EVG.
At the end of February 1978 the Esslingen – Nellingen – Denkendorf tram , which had been in operation since 1926 , and which also had a branch line from Nellingen via Scharnhausen to Neuhausen , was discontinued and replaced by buses. By the end of 2015, the SVE in rendered order traffic , the driving performance on the three bus lines 119, 120 and 121 of the END transport company . That is why the SVE put its first articulated buses into operation.
In 2017, the city of Esslingen entrusted the SVE with the provision of the transport services for line bundle 2 for ten years . The SVE provides 63 percent of the total of around three million timetable kilometers itself. The remaining 37 percent were subcontracted to the private Albert Rexer GmbH & Co KG from Calw , which procured new buses in the Esslingen city colors for this purpose in order to achieve a uniform Ensure appearance. The tender was carried out on a single line, so that the SVE the lines 101, 102, 103, 105, 111, 113 and 118 and Rexer the day lines 104, 108, 109, 110, 112, 115, 132, 138 and the two new night bus lines N12 and N13 served.
