Background

The SPNV Aufgabenträgerschaft for the Land Brandenburg sits with the Ministerium für Infrastruktur und Landesplanung (MIL). Joint SPNV coordination with Berlin runs through the Verkehrsverbund Berlin-Brandenburg (VBB); regional fleets are largely operator-financed, the Berlin S-Bahn fleet is procured via a joint Landes-vehicle-pool with Berlin.

Remit and mandate

SPNV-Aufgabenträger for Brandenburg; operational SPNV contracting is bundled with Berlin via VBB as joint service provider.
