Furthermore VAG owns 50% of the shares in the Breisgau S-Bahn, the other 50% are with SWEG. The company operates a regional railway network on DB Netz AG and SWEG owned tracks. The services run on short sections of the Magistrale Upper Rhine Valley Railway, together with the Elztalbahn, Kaiserstuhlbahn and Breisachbahn branch lines.[2] The VAG is a public limited company, whose shareholder is the city of Freiburg. In 2010 the overall loss was €7.545 million. This was accomplished by a cover ratio of 88%, which is impressively high by German public transport standards. HistoryThe company was founded as Direktion des Elektrizitätswerkes und der Straßenbahn on October 1, 1899. The basic tram net with four lines went to service in 1901. They were converted former horse bus lines. The Schauinslandbahn went to service in 1930 by a privately owned company and after being bought by the city of Freiburg in 1968 merged to the VAG in 1982. The Breisgau-S-Bahn was founded in 1995. Because of the previous existing services the operating started immediately. NetworkVAG operates a network comprising tram lines, bus routes, and a gondola lift. The network carries an average of 200,000 passengers a day. The backbone of the network is based on four tram lines. Coordinated with these are 26 bus lines connecting interchange points to surrounding areas. In addition, the Schauinslandbahn provides access to the summit of Schauinsland mountain.[3][4] VAG operates its lines by a fleet of 62 trams and 104 buses. These cover 3.1 and 4.1 million kilometres a year respectively.[4][5] An extension of tram line 2 (green) of 1.8 km to the border of Gundelfingen in the north was inaugurated and started service on March 15, 2014.[6] An extension of the tramline to the Messe was finished in 2015. The increasing service quality and quantity increased the number of passengers from 46 million in 1990 to 73 million in 2010. This 58% increase is remarkable whilst the population of the city increased by 23%. Bibliography
