Aargau Verkehr AG (AVA) is a Swiss transport company. It was formed on 19 June 2018 from the merger of BDWM Transport and the Wynental and Suhrental Railway. The new company operates both rail and bus services, with most of the latter being provided through its wholly owned subsidiary Limmat Bus AG.
Whilst based in the canton of Aargau, the company also operates services in the cantons of Zürich and Lucerne.
Aargau Verkehr formed on 19 June 2018 by the merger of BDWM Transport and the Wynental and Suhrental Railway.[1] The meger led to the dissolving of the joint AAR bus+bahn brand that had previously united the Wynental and Suhrental Railway and the Busbetrieb Aarau.[2]
AVA owns and operates the following gauge railway lines:
The company also has the contract to operate services between Zürich Altstetten and Killwangen on the Limmattal light rail line. AVA trams partially share tracks with Zürich tram route 2 and the Wohlen–Dietikon railway line.[1]
AVA operates a number of bus routes under its own name:[3] [4]
The company also operates, through its wholly owned subsidiary Limmat Bus AG, a network of 10 bus routes between Zürich and Killwangen. These services are operated under contract to Verkehrsbetriebe Zürich (VBZ), and carry that organisation's brand rather than that of AVA.[3] [5]
