Zugerland Verkehrsbetriebe

More public transport services in all regions

With the timetable change on 15 December 2024, the public transport service was generously expanded in all regions of Zugerland Verkehrsbetriebe (ZVB). With the new timetable, specific customer requests were implemented and the public transport service was increased by 7%, which corresponds to 9 new vehicles and 24 new full-time positions at ZVB.

This is a major expansion step that will be felt in all regions. Commuter routes will be supplemented with additional connections and more frequent services at peak times. At weekends
New services will be created at weekends to meet the growing demand for leisure transport.

At weekends, the night buses now run at 1am, 2am and 3am from Zug, Bahnhofplatz. Even more stops will be served and boarding and exit will also be possible on the return journey. The result is a night network with continuous connections until around 4 a.m., ensuring connections to long-distance trains and other night buses. Due to the new night network
there are some route adjustments. The overnight express N2 now runs via Inwil to Menzingen, the N3 via Baar, Sihlbrugg to Neuheim and the N5 now even runs until 4 a.m. and from Walchwil onwards to Brunnen, SZ.

With the timetable consultation in spring 2024, some specific customer requests were submitted to the Canton of Zug and the ZVB. Where operationally feasible and sensible for many passengers, the requests will be incorporated. Customer requests can be implemented in the following regions
- Neuheim: 15-minute service Monday-Friday at peak times (line 632).
- Allenwinden-Neuägeri: 15-minute service Monday-Friday at peak times (line 634).
- Oberwil: In the evening, the buses on route 611 will wait for the long-distance service at the Zug, Metalli stop, so that the journey home is guaranteed.
- Baar: In the evening, one more long-distance connection will be made with route 603 before switching to the 30-minute interval.
- Knonau: The connection from Cham to Knonau is now also offered on Saturdays (line 648).
- Langacker (Cham): 15-minute service Monday-Friday at peak times with connection to the S1 in Cham (route 642).
- Merlischachen: New public transport connection from Meggen to Küssnacht and on to Immensee (line 622).
- Weggis: Direct bus connection to Rotkreuz Monday-Friday during peak times (line 653).
- Menzingen: An early morning service will be introduced on Sundays (route 602).
- Baar: Line 614 runs Monday-Saturday until 10 pm.

Various regions will benefit from optimised connections:

  • From Cham , connections to the S1 will be ensured in future with route 642, while route 648 will take over the connection in Knonau.
  • Line 651 from Rotkreuz will be split and will in future run as line 651 to Hünenberg Rony and as line 652 in the direction of Küntwil.
  • In Oberägeri, a new local bus will be introduced to serve the Mitteldorferberg area (Haltenbühl, Grund).
  • Line 610 in the direction of Raten will turn at the Giregg stop Monday to Friday during peak times, so that the connection to line 634 to Baar with the possibility of changing at Talacher in the direction of Zug is guaranteed.
  • Line 609 will have additional connections to Morgarten, Hotel from Monday to Friday during peak hours, which will provide connections to lines 601 and 634.

You will find the complete changes in the pull-through, which you will find in your letterbox at the end of November 2024.

We recommend that all travellers check the new timetable before setting off.
