Metrobus (Germany)

The term Metrobus is used for special bus services in Germany since 2001.

In general, Metrobuses run more frequent than normal bus lines and sometimes also operate at night.

In summer 2001 the Hamburger Verkehrsverbund introduced the first Metrobus services in Germany.

Before December 2014 Metrobus lines were identified by a special white-on-red roundel (see below).

Metro services run at least every 10 minutes and also 24 h. Many MetroBus lines in the Western half of the city run along the routes of the West Berlin tram network, which was closed in 1976.
