DVB image film (2009)The yellow buses and trams of Dresdner Verkehrsbetriebe AG (DVB AG) are as much a part of Dresden as the Zwinger Palace or the Frauenkirche. We don't get up early to get rich; that wouldn't be worth it to us. We're not friendly to our customers, so we don't pull the wool over their eyes. We're not actors. We didn't buy the latest technology to impress them. That would be too costly. We want to move Dresden safely, on time, and comfortably—nothing more and nothing less. An increasing number of passengers are using our services, whether they're from Dresden or visiting our city. Over 800 years of Dresden history, and we are right in the middle of it. Maybe we're not writing history, but we are showcasing it—its buildings, museums, and exhibitions. In Dresden, everything revolves around art and culture. This also applies to those in the Dresden area, and let's not forget the good Meisner wine. We even move mountains—or rather, bring them closer to you—the Elbe Sandstone Mountains in Saxon Switzerland. We invest and build, but not to annoy drivers—that would be too strenuous for us. We improve the rail network and roads, so everyone benefits. And we have the specialists—engineers, industrial designers, construction mechanics, power electronics technicians, painters, track builders, drivers, and service personnel. To be precise, 1,691 employees across all fields. Because that's the only way things get moving with us. Together, we are strong, and we know that quality, thinking, persistence, and humor are our secrets. Innovation is essential, but we don't follow every trend. A ticket on your mobile phone is a good idea we've already implemented. What’s been tried and tested remains, of course. Personal service on-site, comfortable boarding with low-floor technology, geothermal energy, stops, or passenger info via monitors—that’s for our passengers. This means no effort, no stress, and plenty to see. But we also know that the future has a past, and we cherish our traditions. Over 110 years of cable cars—we value what our ancestors built because they paved the way for a new era. The Dresden suspension railway is a technological marvel worth a monument, and it’s a matter of pride for us. We also swim—that's quite normal for a city on a river. Moving people and preserving industrial history is worth looking forward to, discovering, and protecting. We see this as our mission and obligation. Our trams use braking energy, saving electricity and protecting the environment. Even those who take the bus are active climate protectors. The 1-liter cars with a driver are only available from us. Of course, we also use fuel and energy, but we tinker, research, and develop. We live in a city of science—760 companies working on visions of the future. With our company employee ticket, we contribute a little. But we also experiment with ourselves. The hybrid bus can't fly, but it runs partly on electricity, protecting the climate. Our children will thank us. Our only blue train—freight transport by rail—is not a new invention but efficient. For Volkswagen, it’s a profitable business. A train replaces at least three trucks. For us, it’s an environmentally friendly, award-winning pilot project. We have no time for darkness—that's not an option. We turn night into day and operate 24 hours a day, non-stop. Coordinated by one of the most modern control centers in Germany. Whether you're going to the theater, a restaurant, or a nightclub, with us, you'll get home safely—even if things are late. We move Dresden around the clock.By YourDVB - December 17, 2009.
