Passenger transport market

PostBus aims to maintain and strengthen its leading market position in public bus transport in Switzerland. We want to expand our presence in local and urban transport by winning local bus tenders and with our bike sharing scheme PubliBike. Or by developing our system services: we manage and operate IT-based systems for ticket sales in vehicles and automated passenger counting. Internationally, we want to grow in clearly defined niche areas and build up additional sources of earnings.

System services

Improving public transport

Passenger control, real-time timetable information and touchscreens for drivers: in addition to its core business, PostBus offers services for other public transport providers.

Transport partnerships

Through the summer with PostBus

Organizers of major events are faced with the logistical challenge of getting large numbers of people to the event on time via public transport. PostBus is the ideal partner during peak periods.

Replacing the train

When the trains can't cope

Whether it's tunnel renovation, a breakdown or track work: when the trains stop running, a Postbus takes over and brings the passengers safely to their destination. On 90 routes in 2013. “Thanks to our logistical capabilities and numerous partner companies, we can step in very quickly when a railway bottleneck occurs”, says André Burri, Head of Market West at PostBus.

Fuel cell Postbus

Expertise recognized around the world

PostBus is the first transport company in Switzerland to carry its passengers in fuel cell buses. Project manager Nikoletta Seraidou is involved with new vehicle technologies around Europe.

WiFi in PostBus vehicles

The mobile hotspot

Chat, download music or just read the newspapers online – a stable Internet connection when you're on the road is convenient, but by no means the norm. With PostBus, things are different.

PubliBike

“Ideal for companies like us”

With PubliBike in Berne, Swiss Post and the Swiss Federal Railways provide their employees with free rental bikes. But all of the city's residents benefit from the eight PubliBike stations. PostBus is Switzerland's largest bike sharing service provider.
