History
The Municipal Transport Company Bern created on September 1, 1947 the merger of the Municipal Tram Bern ( SSB), which was responsible for tram and trolley bus, with the bus company Urban Omnibus Bern ( SOB). Since then applies a uniform tariff for the three urban transport. Thus, a petition from the population was met, which had been four years earlier treated in the municipal council.
On 26 March 1997, the local council to convert the company into a public institution decided. The basis for this decision, the new cantonal law on public transport ( the BA ).
On 13 July 1999, the Municipal Transport Company Bern ( SVB ) were entered in the Commercial Register of the Canton of Berne as an independent company. For the spin-off from the city administration, the form of urban public institution was chosen. It is based on the regulations of the institution SVB from 09/28/1997. At the beginning of 2000, the SCC was the business name Bernmobil and a new logo, combined with a new color scheme with the dominant colors Red ( similar RGB R210 G0 B55 ) and anthracite (similar RGB R57 G57 B57 ). The first tram in the new appearance perverted from 30 October 2000. To improve the visibility of vehicles at dusk and at night, Bernmobil received subsequently by the police the support to mount a light stripe. At the same time the car number had to be installed instead of red on the front and rear in silver to make this visible during nighttime accident shots.
Simultaneously with the spin-off from the city government ownership and employee relations were redefined. Land and real estate, including the deposit and administration building, remained the property of the city of Bern. Likewise, the entire track and catenary infrastructure. Bernmobil paid a rent for the use of property and infrastructure, and is also responsible for the maintenance. Bernmobil took over the entire rolling stock and the corresponding operating facilities, including the resources of the workshop and the furniture of the administration. The employees lost their civil servant status. After expiry of the relevant transitional periods they are now subject to public- sector employees.
On December 12, 2004 took place after 20 years of transition from the former Tarifverbund " Bäre - Abi " on " Libero " instead. Bernmobil received for his lines the numeric keypad 1-33 assigned to the regional Bern-Solothurn (RBS ), paragraphs 34 to 50 So after a little more than 80 years, disappeared the last lettered lines from the Bernese city traffic.
