More buses to Hönggerberg campus
Pressure on the busy VBZ no. 80 bus route will be somewhat eased, starting in autumn. From 17 September 2018, additional buses will be added to the no. 80 route to the Hönggerberg campus. This has been arranged by agreement between ETH Zurich, public transport operator VBZ, and public transport authority ZVV.
From the start of the 2018 autumn semester on 17 September 2018, there will be more buses on the VBZ route no. 80 serving the Hönggerberg campus. The agreed timetable changes will apply during ETH Zurich’s term time and examination periods. At peak times on working days, buses will now run every 6 minutes instead of the current 6.7 to 7.5-minute frequency.
The new timetable will apply from Monday to Friday between 6:30 and 9:30 a.m. and 4:00 and 6:30 p.m., when the busses are particularly busy. This new timetable has been arranged by agreement between ETH Zurich, public transport operator VBZ, and cantonal public transport authority (ZVV).
In order to launch the improved service on the no. 80 bus route this year, ETH Zurich is fully financing the additional buses from 17 September 2018 to 13 December 2019, for a total of 241 days. This has been contractually agreed between ETH Zurich and ZVV, which is responsible for the strategic planning and financing of public transport in the canton of Zurich.
