Even at night, nothing stands still in Zug. Whether after an after-work meeting, a cosy evening on Lake Zug or after an EVZ match: the ZVB will take you home safely and comfortably on the night express or the night star line.

Tip for bus stops

Make sure you are clearly visible in traffic and at bus stops during the darker months of the year. 
The easiest way to do this is to wear reflective clothing; it can also help to briefly wave your mobile phone screen or camera at bus stops. Thank you for your cooperation.
