BLS AG - Who we are
About us
BLS AG is an independent group of companies operated according to private-sector management principles. As an integrated railway concern, it unites under a single roof the divisions of infrastructure, passenger transportation, cargo and workshops as well as the motive power division as a pool of locomotive drivers and tractive units.
The principal activity of BLS AG includes regional passen-ger transportation by trains and buses, navigation in the Bernese Oberland as well as rail-bound freight transportation. It operates and maintains a railway infrastructure network which it makes available to other railway companies on a non-discriminatory basis. The most renowned section of the BLS network is the Lötschberg axis, with its 34.6-km-long Lötschberg base tunnel which became operational in 2007.
With a workforce of around 2600 and a line network length of approx. 900 km across seven cantons, BLS AG is the second-largest railway company in Switzerland. The subsidiary BLS Cargo AG has operated the freight transportation of BLS AG since mid 2001. BLS Netz AG is responsible for the operation, maintenance and railway infrastructure construction.
