Procedure descriptions
Apply for funding for regional bus routes
The Ministry of Transport subsidises the establishment of regional bus routes.
Funding is provided for transport services in the operation of road-based local public transport (ÖPNV) lines with motor vehicles (within the meaning of the PBefG and BO Kraft) that supplement local rail passenger transport (SPNV):
- to connect medium-sized centres, sub-centres, commercial airports, tourist destinations of national importance and national parks without a current regular connection to regional rail passenger transport, usually to a neighbouring medium-sized/major centre or, if closer, to another suitable access point of regional rail passenger transport or
- to close spatial gaps in the regional rail network between regional centres, medium-sized centres and airports.
Responsible department
The Ministry of Transport is the examination, decision-making and authorisation authority.

Prerequisite
To achieve the funding purpose, existing lines and new road-based public transport lines must fulfil the following requirements as regional bus lines:
- demonstrable expected deficit of the planned regional bus line
- fast connection function between regional centres, medium-sized centres, sub-centres and airports as well as tourist destinations of national importance
- adequate access to the high-demand locations in between, provided that the connecting function is not significantly impaired as a result.
- regional network effect
- supply-orientated timetable design, generally every one hour
- Operating times in line with the state's 2025 regional rail transport target concept for regional rail transport on all days of the week
- standardised routes/routing on all days of the week
- passenger-friendly transfer times from/to regional rail transport in the sense of an integrated synchronised timetable
- systematic connection security
- Minimum requirements with regard to the vehicles used
- Integration into the Baden-Württemberg tariff or the Deutschlandticket analogue to SPNV lines
