Brief profile JNV and JES 

Comfortable and climate-conscious transportation – that is our credo. For this purpose, we offer you a well-connected public transport network consisting of 51 bus lines in Jena and the Saale-Holzland-Kreis as well as 5 tram lines in Jena.

Under the motto "One Tariff, one ticket, one network", we are a committed partner in the transport association Verkehrsverbund Mittelthüringen and offer you a joint ticket for bus, train and tram between Gera and Gotha, Jena and Saalfeld. 

As a partner in the network „Elektromobilität Jena 2030“, we are helping to shape the electromobile future of our region. Our fleet is changing: The diesel bus is being replaced by the electric bus, the gasoline car by the e-car, and the fuel pump will provide solar power instead of gasoline in the future.
