Facts and Figures As at 31 December 2016 Portrait Facts and figures As at 31 December 2016 Portrait PostBus is the market leader in public bus transport in Switzerland. With over 4,000 members of staff (including drivers employed by PostBus operators) and around 2,250 vehicles, PostBus carries approximately 152 million passengers per year. The company has 72 million francs of equity capital. The hallmarks of PostBus – the three-tone horn and the yellow Postbuses – are part of Switzerland’s cultural identity. The PostBus brand embodies reliability, security and trust. Increasingly, it also represents innovative, sustainable public transport. PostBus is a leading provider of system management functionality in public transport. Around 150 PostBus operators cover a considerable proportion of the kilometres travelled in Switzer- land, as well as carrying out the important task of establishing a strong position for the company among the public. Swiss Post is the sole owner of PostBus. The foreign companies CarPostal France and PostAuto Liechtenstein Anstalt, as well as the bike-sharing service PubliBike AG, all be- long to PostBus Switzerland Ltd. 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 Brugg (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.
