Eurobus Public transport
City, regional and night bus routes
You award the route, EUROBUS runs it to the timetable: with its own fleet of scheduled-service buses from articulated to hybrid buses and its own drivers, on behalf of cantons, cities and transport companies or as a licensed operator in its own right.
As a “service public” company, EUROBUS serves public transport in the regions of Aargau, Bern, Biel/Bienne, Eastern Switzerland, Central Switzerland and Zurich. The employees in public transport make sure that the public service mandate is carried out to the timetable.
