history

Prehistory (until 1998)

The history of StadtBus Dormagen GmbH begins long before it was founded. The Zons-Nievenheim industrial railway was founded as early as 1911, although it was limited to a "shuttle service". By the Second World War , there was a lively transport of goods, which were produced by many companies based along the rail axis. After the war, almost 18,000 wagons with almost 350,000 tons of produced goods could be transported again in 1950. A record is reached in 1984 with over 580,000 tons.

Foundation of the SDG

The passing of the Federal Regionalization Act on December 27, 1993 and the Regionalization Act NW formed the legal basis for the establishment of a separate urban bus service in Dormagen. In the middle of 1995, the establishment of the Verkehrsgesellschaft Dormagen mbH , VGD for short , was decided on July 1, 1995. The existing Zons-Nievenheim industrial line was expanded into an urban transport community geared towards local public transport. In the following year, a cooperation with the Busverkehr Rheinland GmbH was decided, whereby the BVR kept the exclusive management; With 88%, the majority of the shares belonged to the VGD. The newly founded company was named Stadtbus Dormagen GmbH .

The contracts between BVR, VGD and the city of Dormagen were signed on January 16, 1997, and shortly afterwards the new company joined the VRR and the VRS . The first comprehensive passenger counts showed that in the first year an average of 5,500 people were using the SDG public transport service every day . These statistical values ​​prompted an early optimization of the network, as the bus routes were underutilized on the weekends and reached different target groups than on weekdays.

Lines

The seven main lines operate Monday through Friday from around 5:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. and on Saturdays from around 6:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. All lines merge into another at at least one end point, which means that journeys through the city are usually free of transfers. At the weekend (Saturdays from approx. 3:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. and Sundays and public holidays from approx. 8:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m.), two weekend express lines run as a substitute , while there are connections to the other WE line at Dormagener Bahnhof. After the daytime lines have closed, two NachtExpress lines run from around 8:30 p.m. , which merge into the other NE line at the Dormagen train station. Closing is on the nights from Sunday to Monday to Thursday on Friday at approx. 0:30 a.m. and on the nights Friday to Saturday, Saturday to Sunday and before public holidays at approx. 2:50 a.m. The NE3 has existed since the end of 2017, which is intended to improve the connection between Rheinfeld and Hackenbroich.
