The transport companies Extertal GmbH (vbe) is a transport service provider based in East Westphalia-Lippe . The company is divided into the corporate branches vbe , Karl Köhne Omnibusbetriebe GmbH and vbe Spedition GmbH . The former maintains the rail networks of the Extertalbahn and the Begatalbahn . Until February 2011, there was an addition to the name that emphasized the railway division: Verkehrsbetriebe Extertal-Extertalbahn GmbH .
history
The company was founded on September 8, 1924 by several shareholders (municipalities and electricity works Wesertal ) under the name Extertalbahn Aktiengesellschaft (EAG). The Extertalbahn was put into operation between 1927 and 1929. As early as 1930, the company was also using buses and coaches in addition to the railways. After EAG launched regional road haulage in addition to rail transport in 1960, the company kept getting new opportunities to expand. Finally, road haulage was expanded into a forwarding division in 1965.
Due to the further development into a transport company with several branches, the company was renamed on December 4th, 1967 in vbe Verkehrsbetriebe Extertal - Extertalbahn GmbH . In 1984 the subsidiary vbe Spedition GmbH was founded and in 1993 Karl Köhne Omnibusbetriebe GmbH . The railway network was expanded by purchasing the Barntrup - Lemgo ( Begatalbahn ) line in 2000. A short section of this route was put into operation in 2007 for local passenger transport (Lemgo - Lemgo-Lüttfeld).
Karl Köhne Omnibusbetriebe GmbH
The bus company has developed strongly in recent years and has become one of the major providers in East Westphalia-Lippe . It operates regional and inner-city bus routes in the Lippe district and in the neighboring areas of Lower Saxony (including Rinteln , Aerzen ). In 1994 it took a 33.3% stake (since 2008 50%) in the newly founded Stadtbus Lemgo GmbH . On January 1st, 2008 the bus division of vbe was handed over to the subsidiary. The company operates u. a. the city bus Bad Salzuflen (on behalf of the local public utilities) and the city bus Detmold (at the end of 2011 the Stadtbus Detmold GmbH was founded with two other partners).
