History
1970 VBW ( transport companies Baden- Wettingen ) were founded. The buses were then burgundy with silver-gray markings. The company was formed from the merger of bus GmbH (Wine Red vehicles ) and the Baumann Bus ( red crème vehicles). It was originally planned to merge with the company Julius Meier and integrate the postal routes this company. However, this failed. Nevertheless, the company Julius Meier procured wine-red vehicles. For several years, therefore, in the Baden wine-red postbuses wrong.
By joining the Scope of the General subscriptions a name conflict with the United Bern -Worb railways originated (now part of RBS ), which necessitated the renaming in RVBW. At the same time the appearance was the standard at that time for Swiss transport operators adapted (vehicles orange with black markings ). This color scheme was replaced in the 1990s by a corporate identity in the colors white and red. The vehicles in accordance with the design specification of the canton of Aargau and have a red-blue- black wave over the entire length of the vehicle.
