Who ensures a pleasant journey with a smile? Who remains patient and helpful even in stressful situations? Every day, our bus drivers are on the road for you and make your journey safe and pleasant. That's why we are taking part in the nationwide „Favourite bus driver 2026“ campaign. Now it's your turn: tell your personal bus story and nominate your favourite bus driver. You can share your experiences at www.lieblingsbusfahrerin.de until 31 May 2026 and show your appreciation to the people behind the wheel. A jury will select the most impressive stories from all the entries and choose the favourite bus drivers of 2026. The people who submit the winning stories can also look forward to special recognition. The initiative is supported by the PRO BAHN passenger association, DB Regio, the Association of German Transport Companies (VDV) and the Federal Association of German Bus Companies (bdo), among others. It recognises the work of around 100,000 bus drivers in Germany. The competition was launched in 2023 and has been a resounding success ever since: every year, over 2,300 stories are submitted that show how much small gestures can make a difference in everyday bus life. 👉 Join in and say thank you - nominate your favourite bus driver now!

From 2 February 2026, hvv hop Elbe-Heide will supplement local public transport in the Salzhausen joint municipality. The new on-demand shuttle service enables flexible journeys on demand - without a fixed timetable and precisely when traditional bus connections are not suitable. With hvv hop Elbe-Heide, you can be conveniently called up via app and taken from A to B - at the regular hvv fare, without a convenience surcharge. All you need is a valid hvv ticket or a Germany ticket. The shuttle runs in the Salzhausen joint municipality and thus supplements the existing transport services in rural areas. In some cases, other passengers with a similar destination may also board the shuttle, which reduces road congestion and protects the environment. Our operating times Monday - Thursday: 5 am - 11 pm Friday: 5 am - 2 am Saturday & before public holidays: 8 am - 2 am Sunday & on public holidays: 8 am - 11 pm The hvv hop Elbe-Heide-Service offers you a modern, flexible mobility alternative in rural areas - ideal for travelling to work, shopping or leisure activities. 📱 The app for Android and iOS will soon be available to download. As soon as it is available, you will find the links here  

Unfortunately, we are not organising a Future Day this year. The reason: we are currently working on new, exciting formats and content with which we want to make next year's Future Day even more attractive, informative and eventful. We are deliberately taking a little more time to prepare for this. 👉 There will be another Future Day in 2027 - with new insights, hands-on activities and real perspectives on training and career entry. We would like to thank all interested parties for their understanding and are already looking forward to welcoming you next year.

The safety of our passengers is our top priority:
