Stadtbus Steyr

Stadtbus Steyr is the urban bus system serving the city of Steyr in Upper Austria. It is operated by Stadtbetriebe Steyr GmbH (SBS), a municipal utility company wholly owned by the City of Steyr. SBS is the successor to Stadtwerke Steyr, which was founded in the 1960s; the current company was established in December 2010 and began operations on 1 January 2012. The bus network is one of several public services provided by SBS, alongside gas, water, waste management, funeral services, the city indoor pool, and the artificial ice rink. The Stadtbus network comprises 18 lines that connect Steyr's districts and all lead to the main railway station. The total route length is 87 km, and the network density is 2.9 km per km². The buses carry approximately 13,700 passengers per day, with an average speed of 17 km/h in city traffic. The fleet consists exclusively of MAN buses, as MAN operates a production facility in Steyr. In May 2025, the first electric bus, a Mercedes-Benz model, entered regular service. The bus garage is located at the headquarters of Stadtbetriebe Steyr at Ennser Straße 10. Stadtbus Steyr provides an essential public transport link for residents and visitors, complementing regional bus services. The network includes daytime lines, evening lines (20 and 21), and special variants such as line 2a and 2b serving the hospital. The service is integrated into the Upper Austrian transport association (OÖ Verkehrsverbund).
