History

The first stage in the founding of PostBus dates back to the creation of a horse-drawn postal network in 1849. Its last remaining representative – the legendary Gotthardpost – is still in circulation to this day on the Gotthard pass road, to the great delight of many visitors. The first scheduled automobile mail route was introduced between Berne and Detligen in 1906. Since then, the route network in Switzerland has been continual- ly expanded. PostBus transported more than 100 million passengers for the first time in 2003. It took its first steps abroad in the Principality of Liechtenstein in 2001, and in Dole, France, in 2004.

PostBus in (canton of Aargau) put Switzerland’s first fuel cell buses into operati- on in 2011. In addition, the first “PubliBike” stations were opened in association with the SBB and Rent a Bike, thereby launching the national self-service rental system for bikes and e-bikes.
