Last year PostBus Switzerland Ltd transported 145 million passengers (previous year: 141 million). Across Switzerland as a whole, the number of routes has increased from 869 to 877. The 2,238 Postbuses travelled 113 million kilometres for scheduled services (previous year: 110 million). During the course of 2015, the strongest growth in passenger numbers was recorded in Region Ticino (+9 percent) due to the introduction of an urban network in the Bellinzona area in December 2014. PostBus also transported significantly more people in Central Switzerland (+7 percent), with a sharp increase on the Sursee–Lake Sempach and Lucerne–Rotkreuz routes (for detailed figures, see the attached table). The regions of Zurich and Western Switzerland saw the greatest alterations and expansions when the timetable changed on 13 December 2015. These will be reflected only in the figures for 2016.

195 new jobs

As of the end of last year, PostBus employed 3,915 staff members (3,423 full-time equivalents). In 2015, the company created 195 jobs.

PostBus is developing from a leading bus company for public transport in Switzerland into a complete mobility provider that wants to accompany customers on their journey from start to finish with appropriate services. Examples of this are the regional mobility sharing network PubliRide and the testing of two self-driving shuttles scheduled for 2016.
