Ortenau S-Bahn
The Ortenau S-Bahn (OSB) is a regional railway operator in the German state of Baden-Württemberg. It is a brand of the Südwestdeutsche Verkehrs-Aktiengesellschaft (SWEG), a transport company owned by the state of Baden-Württemberg.
The usual features of a German S-Bahn system (such as line numbers with an 'S' and the white/green S-Bahn logo) are not applied by the OSB, because it is more a regional railway system than an actual S-Bahn.
Since May 1998, the Ortenau S-Bahn operates services over DB Netz AG and SWEG owned tracks in the area around Offenburg. Services connect Offenburg to:[1]
- Strasbourg (Rhine Valley and Appenweier–Strasbourg main line), since 2003
- Ottenhöfen (Acher Valley Railway)
- Bad Griesbach (Rench Valley Railway)
- Oberharmersbach (Harmersbach Valley Railway)
- Freudenstadt (Kinzig Valley Railway), since 2004
- Hornberg (Black Forest Railway)
On all lines, there is roughly an hourly service provided by the OSB, except the line Offenburg-Strasbourg, which has a train nearly every half an hour.
The OSB has 45 employees and operates its services with 26 RegioShuttle trains.
