The VVNB is an association of companies , which means that the organization of the transport is primarily the responsibility of the transport company (the only one of this type in Austria). The association is thus to be seen as a corporate cooperation, whereby the companies coordinate the traffic planning with each other and apply a common tariff (so-called through tariffing ).

The coordination and accounting between the regional authorities and the transport companies is carried out by ABBV GmbH.

In addition, the season tickets (weekly, monthly and annual tickets ) are greatly reduced compared to the company tariffs ( reduced tariff) . The resulting loss of income for the companies is borne by the regional authorities of Lower Austria, Burgenland and the federal government.

The tariff income as well as the compensation amounts for through-tariffing and deducting are distributed among the transport companies participating in the network as part of an income distribution. The companies bear the income risk. Ordered transports such as the VOR bus routes, where planning, public tenders, commissioning the best bidder and bearing the income risk are tasks of an ordering organization (usually the Verbundgesellschaft itself), are still the exception in the VVNB.

history

The company was originally founded on June 1, 1982 as ABBV Alfred Bach Betriebsberatung Verkehrsplanung, in October 1996 ABBV GmbH became.

On September 1, 1988, the transport association Nördliches Weinviertel  NWV went into operation as a pilot project . Due to its success, the project was extended to the entire area of ​​Lower Austria and Burgenland.

In addition to the NWV, there was the Verkehrsverbund Waldviertel  WVV, Verkehrsverbund Niederösterreich Zentral / Mostviertel  ZMV, and Verkehrsverbund Niederösterreich Süd / Burgenland Mitte  NBV from January 1, 1991 , and the Südburgenland  SBV from June 1, 1996 .

With the Public Local and Regional  Transport Act 1999 (ÖPNRV-G), the regional associations were incorporated into the system of the national companies.

Network reform

The VVNB is to be integrated into the VOR according to the will of the financing regional authorities. The main reason is that the two different tariff systems, some of which overlap, are too complicated for the passenger, especially at the borders between VVNB and VOR. The new VOR will therefore have a uniform tariff, which, according to the current state of information, is a mixture of the current systems in VVNB and VOR (smaller zones than in the VOR, no longer a kilometer tariff). In addition, the ordering system of the VOR is to be adopted in the bus area. The implementation of this network reform, postponed several times, should take place in 2014.

The company's office recently moved to the VOR location in Vienna.

Zone and tariff system

The VVNB is divided into relatively small-scale zones, tariff groups. These have an average diameter of approx. 5 km. The VVNB tariff is a degressive kilometer tariff. The amount of the tariff does not depend, as in the VOR, on the number of zones traveled through, but on the tariff kilometers covered between the source and target tariff group . The tariff kilometers between two tariff groups generally correspond to the distance between the zone centers. In exceptional cases, tariff kilometers were set arbitrarily for reasons of price policy. Some tariff groups are classified as urban transport where additional tariff offers exist (e.g. Wiener Neustadt, St. Pölten).
