What do Adnet, Krispl, Puch and Oberalm have in common? They all have remote districts, far away from the action and public transport connections. This is now a thing of the past. . 

The driver even had to put the snow chains on his "Tennengau Shuttle" for this trip. On Friday morning, the mini bus headed for the Gasthof Zillreith in Adnet at 1116 meters above sea level. It is one of many stops for the mini buses. The Salzburger Verkehrsverbund (SVV) wants to bring remote residential areas closer to bus and train services. The shuttles can be booked via app and pick up passengers at one of the 26 stops and take them to their desired destination. The service is initially available in Adnet, Krispl, Puch and Oberalm. "The service has been running since this week and has exceeded all expectations," says Adnet's mayor Wolfgang Auer (ÖVP).

The public buses in Tennengau are also enjoying unprecedented popularity. Preliminary evaluations show a significant increase in passenger numbers from 2023 to 2024. There were massive increases in the Lammertal in particular (lines 470, 471) and for the Hallein-Adnet-Krispl-Gaißau connection (line 450). Last year, around 106,000 people traveled on bus number 470, compared to around 81,000 passengers in 2023.
