Description

With its city buses and rails, the UESTRA Hannoversche Verkehrsbetriebe Aktiengesellschaft" is among the leading German local public transportation companies. With about 174 million passengers per year, the UESTRA is the largest service provider for local public transport in Lower Saxony. The UESTRA is a traditional company. For 125 years it is inseparably intertwined with the City of Hanover. In 1892 it was founded under the name of "Strassenbahn Hannover AG". In 1921 it was renamed in Ueberlandwerke und Strassenbahn; in short "UESTRA". In 1970 the previously privately owned transport company was municipalised and is since that time publicly owned.
