Transports du Val-de-Ruz
The Compagnie des Transports du Val-de-Ruz (VR) is a former transport company in the canton of Neuchâtel in Switzerland. Until 1947 their company name was Compagnie du Chemin de fer Régional du Val-de-Ruz et Compagnie des Autotransport du Val-de-Ruz . In 1999 the company merged into the company TRN SA , which in turn merged in 2012 to form Transports Publics Neuchâtelois, or transN for short , which now serves Val-de-Ruz with buses.
