Market share of buses in German long-distance transport 2012-2024
In 2024, buses had a market share of around *** percent in the German long-distance transport market. The market share was calculated based on passenger numbers. In regular public transport, a long-distance bus line connects regions at bigger distances from each other. Destinations range from Germany to Central Europe, especially cities or tourist magnets in Eastern, Southern and Southeast European countries. The buses often service several cities in both the outgoing and destination regions - they collect and drop off passengers in different places. Expressways and freeways are usually used as often as possible.
