The Verkehrsverbund Ems-Jade (VEJ) is an association of public bus transport companies ( ÖPNV ) in the area of ​​the East Frisian Peninsula founded in January 2006 . These are the four districts of Aurich , Friesland , Leer and Wittmund and the two cities of Emden and Wilhelmshaven . The public authorities of these cities and districts, the association of which is known as Verkehrsregion-Nahverkehr Ems-Jade (VEJ) , are responsible for the public transport system and for the association . The district of Emsland is also a member here, and its integration into the transport association is in preparation (see future).

Members

Members of the Verkehrsverbund Ems-Jade (VEJ) are transport companies from the districts of Wittmund , Friesland , Aurich and Leer , as well as the transport companies in the independent cities of Emden and Wilhelmshaven .

Shareholder:

There are uniform conditions of carriage in the network area. The common tariff system of all transport companies in the Ems-Jade transport association (with the exception of urban transport in the cities of Emden, Leer and Wilhelmshaven) is based on the distance tariff system, the VEJ fare table differentiates between 20 price levels. A link to rail traffic is currently only possible with season tickets on selected bus routes. Otherwise, the tariffs of Deutsche Bahn apply in local rail transport . In an action that will take many years to complete, the stop signs, which previously addressed the individual transport companies, are being converted to the uniform signage of the network.

Tourist bus

Within the VEJ and the district of Ammerland , a so-called tourist bus has been offered every day from 9 a.m. in the summer half-year (March 15 to October 31) since March 2009. Vacationers with a valid spa / guest card for the region mentioned can "experience" the region for 1 euro per person and route (any changes) on all regular bus routes. This project serves u. a. to make the holiday region of East Frisia more attractive.

The busiest connections of the tourist bus are the route Norden - Norddeich (line 412) , the three coastlines between Harlingerland and Norden / Norddeich and the route Wilhelmshaven - Schillig (line 121) .

future

The VEJ is planning to improve passenger information and to further develop the tariff range. In the medium term, joint offers are also to be created with the neighboring transport associations. In addition, the aim is to integrate rail transport into the Ems-Jade transport association.

The integration of the Emsland district into the transport association is currently in preparation . However, this has been delayed due to a pending legal dispute in the vicinity of the transport company operating to date and a new applicant.
