Personennahverkehrsgesellschaft Merseburg-Querfurt

Personennahverkehrsgesellschaft Merseburg-Querfurt mbH (PNVG) is a German regional public transport company based in Merseburg, Saxony-Anhalt. It is commissioned to operate the public bus network across the Saalekreis district, connecting residential areas, workplaces, schools and leisure destinations. The company traces its origins to the Personennahverkehrsgesellschaft Querfurt mbH, founded on 1 May 1992 to serve the former Querfurt district. Following the merger of the Querfurt and Merseburg districts into the Merseburg-Querfurt district, that company merged with Personenbeförderungsbetriebe Merseburg GmbH to form today's PNVG. In 1998 the operator became part of the newly established Mitteldeutscher Verkehrsverbund (MDV), the regional transport association for central Germany. PNVG's service area covers the former Merseburg-Querfurt district, which was merged with the Saalkreis in 2007 to form the present Saalekreis. Most bus lines run in the greater Merseburg area. The network includes regular line and replacement services, individual and group transport for clubs, schools and companies, and barrier-free vehicles with low-floor entry and space for wheelchairs and luggage. Ticketing includes digital options and the Deutschlandticket, offered at 63 euros per month. The company also participates in the MOOVME app, which provides a 50-cent discount on selected tickets in participating MDV city networks between April and September 2026. Several routes have been upgraded in recent years: lines 131, 700, 721, 724 and 728 became PlusBus services, while lines 705, 708 and 719 became TaktBus services. Lines 131 (Merseburg–Leipzig), 700 (Querfurt–Eisleben) and 728 (Merseburg–Querfurt) also operate within the Bahn-Bus-Landesnetz Sachsen-Anhalt. The company emphasizes punctuality, reliability, safety, transparency and sustainability, using modern low-emission vehicles and efficient operations. It maintains a customer hotline and online customer center, and offers bus advertising on its vehicles.
