Bayerische Oberlandbahn
The Bayerische Oberlandbahn GmbH (BOB) is a private railway company based in Holzkirchen, Germany, and owned by Transdev Germany (formerly known as Veolia Verkehr). Since June 2020 its services are operated under the brand Bayerische Regiobahn (BRB) of its sister company.
BOB Trains connect Munich with the alpine hamlets of Bayrischzell, Lenggries, and the spa town of Tegernsee. The routes are not electrified and are serviced with diesel-hydraulic and diesel-mechanic DMUs.
The three BOB lines run on part of what was the Bayerischen Maximiliansbahn as a combined train set from München Hauptbahnhof via the southern ring to Holzkirchen. In Holzkirchen, one of the DMUs splits off of the train, heading off to the east, running through Miesbach and Schliersee to Bayrischzell. The two remaining DMU continue on to Schaftlach where they separate again, with one DMU going to Lenggries via Bad Tölz, while the last DMU heads off towards the southeast to Tegernsee. The Tegernsee Line makes use of the tracks owned by the Tegernsee-Bahn, a private rail infrastructure provider.
The separate DMUs travel from München Hauptbahnhof to Holzkirchen or Schaftlach as a single train. They then split up and travel on to their individual destinations. On the return trip to Munich, the individual units are connected again and run as a single train back to München Hauptbahnhof. Between Holzkirchen and Munich BOB Trains run under the Münchner Verkehrs- und Tarifverbund tariff system.
The Bayerische Oberland Bahn GmbH is a member of the "Tarifverband der Bundeseigenen und Nichtbundeseigenen Eisenbahnen in Deutschland" (TBNE: Tariff Association of federally and non-federally owned railways in Germany).
BOB was founded on 31 March 1998 and began service the same year. The company was launched to create more competition on the rail systems of southern Bavaria.[citation needed]
In the early days of service BOB trains were often plagued by technical problems with the new/untested Integral train set. These initial problems have since been resolved and BOB is now considered very reliable.[citation needed]
Since the beginning of July 2004 BOB has added three Bombardier Talent Train-sets to cover rush hour service.[citation needed]
