The Albtal-Verkehrs-Gesellschaft (AVG) carries over 73 million passengers every year safely to their destinations with its eco-friendly busses and trains. During its 60-year history, it has become one of the largest railway companies in Germany in terms of passenger and freight traffic.
The AVG is a fundamental mainstay of the “Karlsruhe Model”, whose success has gained worldwide admiration and imitators for 25 years. As a tram-train system, it links the inner-city tram network in Karlsruhe with rail routes in the surrounding region. Passengers can reach their destinations in the Karlsruhe area and in the surrounding region in dual-system rail vehicles – which are capable of travelling both on the tram and rail networks – without having to change.
