Revolution in bus traffic: Paderborn's new timetables from 2026!

Paderborn, Deutschland - In the Paderborn district, bus traffic is on the brink! The current regulations for line bundles 12 "Büren/Salzkotten" of the BVO bus traffic East Westphalia expire in July 2026. In order to avoid expensive empty trips, you plan to only transport the passengers on call. A real upheaval for the commuters!

Busverkehr Ostwestfalen GmbH has already submitted an economic application for approval from the Detmold district government in order to maintain the timetable from 2026. If the district government agreed to the application, this means: No additional costs for the local transport association Paderborn/Höxter (NPH) or the city of Paderborn! But that also means that the responsibility for the changes in the range of driving is entirely with the transport company - the NPH and the city can only influence a limited extent.

Half -hour connections on the tilt

The environmental and mobility committee has already approved the city administration's proposal to support the BVO. According to the district government, the positive aspects predominate. One wants to maintain the existing timetable design that adequately covers the current need for bus journeys. That means: half -hour trips between Paderborn and Büren and hourly connections to Salzkotten! And the strict exhaust gas standards for the vehicles in the core city of Paderborn are also observed.

This is an important step for mobility in the Paderborn district! Citizens can look forward to an improved connection, but the uncertainty remains: How will the offer actually change if the responsibility is at the transport company? The eyes of the commuters are aimed at the district government!
