This corresponds to more than 9.5 million bus kilometers on the road in 2016. For ticket sales, two of our own ticket offices and about 50 privately operated ticket offices are available.
With more than 630 committed employees - 485 of them are bus drivers - KVG plays an important role as an employer.
