New bus network between Gifhorn and Wolfsburg: Better connections from August!

Wolfsburg, Deutschland - The future of local public transport (public transport) between Wittingen, Brome and Wolfsburg will experience significant improvements. On August 14, 2025, extensive innovations come into force that are intended to make mobility in the region considerably facilitating. [regionalheute.de] (https://regionalheute.de/busnetz- between-gifhorn-und-wolfsburg-das-die-yeuerungen-gifhorn-wolfsburg-1751279413/) reports that the regional association, the Bachstein transport company and the Gifhorn district are involved in this project.

Significant changes include an improved connection to rail traffic in Wolfsburg and clearly structured lines with reliable cycle times. The focus is particularly on strengthening school and factory traffic. The timetables are redesigned to avoid parallel journeys between the RegioBus line 160 and the Landesbus line 300. In the future there will be clear and easily noticeable timetables, which makes it much easier to use the public transport.

optimized bus connections and connections

A highlight of the new regulations is the direct connection between Wittingen and Wolfsburg. The adjustments to the bus connections should not only improve the connection to regional bus and train lines, but also meet the needs of passengers. For example, the RegioBus line 160 is optimally tailored to regional express traffic RE30 and RE50.

For school traffic, this means simple lines and direct journeys. School children can look forward to clear school timetables that are specially tailored to their needs. The flow of traffic is optimized by merging lines 151 and 153 and the restructuring of line 161, which now runs between Brome and Rühen, but is only offered on school days.

sustainability in focus

The innovations also come in the context of an increased demand for sustainable mobility solutions that have increased since 2022. According to the current figures of the VDV, around 26 million passengers in Germany are transported by bus and train every day. Public transport saves about 10 million tons of greenhouse gas emissions every day. On average, each trip with public transport brings a significant ecological advantage.

For the region, this could mean a turn in mobility culture. The comprehensive adjustments make it clear that a future -proof transport infrastructure continues to be a priority in order to make the challenges of an urban society more just. This initiative ensures a breath of fresh air and more flexibility in public transport, which ultimately benefits everyone.
