Bayerische Oberlandbahn

The Bayerische Oberlandbahn GmbH (BOB) is a pri-

vate railway company based in Holzkirchen, Germany,
and owned by Veolia Verkehr.
BOB Trains connect Munich with the alpine hamlets of
Bayrischzell, Lenggries, and the spa town of Tegernsee.
The routes are not electried and are serviced with diesel-
electric EMUs.
1 Lines Served
The 3 lines of the BOB run on part of the former
Bayerischen Maximiliansbahn as a combined train-set
from Mnchen Hauptbahnhof via the southern ring to
Holzkirchen. In Holzkirchen the combined train-set sep-
arates with one train-set heading o to the east, running
through Miesbach and Schliersee to Bayrischzell.
The two remaining train-sets continue on to Schaftlach
where they separate again, with one train-set going to
Lenggries via Bad Tlz, while the last train-set heads o
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 train-sets travel from Munich Central Sta-
tion 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 con-
nected again and run as a single train back to Munich
Central Station. Between Holzkirchen and Munich BOB
Trains run under the Mnchner Verkehrs- und Tarifver-
bund tari system.
The Bayerische Oberland Bahn GmbHis a member of the
Tarifverband der Bundeseigenen und Nichtbundeseige-
nen Eisenbahnen in Deutschland (TBNE).
2 History
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.
In the early days of service BOBtrains 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.
Since the beginning of July 2004 BOB has added 3
Bombardier Talent Train-sets to cover rush hour service.
3 Time Table
BOB Lines are serviced at hourly/bi-hourly intervals, and
with extra trains during rush hour. However since De-
cember 2004 every other train/direction has had an in-
creased journey time of 12-14min. This contradicts the
basic idea of a single Integrated Timetable.
4 Utilization
BOB Trains are not only highly used during weekdays,
but also on the weekend by tourist and locals planning
excursions to the Bavarian Alps, with walking, bike rid-
ing and skiing being favorite activities. Either a Bayern
Ticket fromDeutsche Bahn or a B.O.Bweekend pass may
be purchased for up to 5 passengers at a signicantly dis-
counted fare. Bus connections are available in Lenggries
and Tegernsee to Karwendel, Achensee, Rofan and the
Ski slopes on Wendelstein (not to be confused with the
town Wendelstein), Sudelfeld, Brauneck, Spitzing.
