VBL dates back to December 1899, when the fist tramway in the city of Lucerne, was opened.

The 1970s revolutionised the way tickets were bought on the bus and trolleybus networks, with most now being purchased from roadside vending machines.

The start of the 21st century brought with it a large intake of new vehicles, with both motorbuses and trolleybuses being delivered.

Nachstern is the name given to the network of night-time bus routes serving the city of Luzern, Switzerland and its surrounding areas.

[9] The bus fleet has been modernised over the past few years, with the introduction of both rigid and articulated Mercedes-Benz Citaro vehicles, which have been placed into service at various points since 1998.
