1996 I've advertised in the Paderborn district on the latest press releases and letters to the implementation of Hövel Hofer Ortsbuskonzeptes. Once this had been rejected at the first attempt by the CDU and the Greens, the active presence of the ÖDP and http://www.nph.de/ have meant that it has been implemented yet. All my expectations were met. Only Radevormwald where I advertise for over 12 years for an imitation of this concept, I had never been successful. Back in 1999, the following text was published:

8.6 Hövelhof
Introduction
The "Hövel Hofer local bus" is different already from the name of the other featured city bus systems. Hövelhof is not a city but a community with about 15,000 inhabitants. Some 11,000 of them live in the nucleus. Given this was a city bus for small population Hövelhof scattered in the early 90s, before the task, at least one public transport to provide basic services for the underlying districts. The characteristic features of urban bus systems (30-minute intervals or Rendezvous-stop) were achieved due to the demand patterns (low population density, high car ownership) are not readily.
Background
Hövelhof runs through the village, the "Senne train" Paderborn - Bielefeld, with stations in the nucleus and in the settlement Hövelhof Hövel squad. Nearly parallel to this route runs the regional bus Paderborn - Bielefeld. For this purpose, is another regional bus Hövelhof - Gütersloh.
by the said bus and rail lines will be opened while some districts. The Grand was the districts before the introduction of Hövel Hofer local bus but served exclusively in exempted school transport. This alone was targeted to the needs of students. The community Hövelhof was looking for a design in which they could enter into an excepted traffic is offered to the district development.
organization
Per Council resolution on 26 September 1996, the establishment of a local bus traffic and the creation of local bus Hövel Hofer GmbH (HOB) by the two partners BVO GmbH Ostwestfalen bus routes and bus traffic-TWE-GmbH agreed. The regular operation the HOB on 2 January 1997 included. In the initial phase, the HOB has been through annual start-up funds of the relevant task support nph supported (Zweckverband Nahverkehrsverbund Paderborn / Höxter). This ran in 1998. Since 1999, the municipality Hövelhof the operating deficit with alone. Through the integration of the exempted students traffic (which was previously funded by the municipality Hövelhof) incurred for the community, no further financial constraints on the school bus by the HOB foundation. In addition, a new line was established with an attractive roadmap for all citizens.
service concept
the HOB serves a total of five lines (lines 421-425). The lines 422-425 (which formerly exempted student services) are only on school days and are of the timetable and lines completely dedicated to her students needs. The line 421 was created as part of the HOB-new concept. It operates every two hours in the form of three loops in the smaller hamlets. It binds in the normal rush hour those settlement areas on the public transport network, which have so far experienced no regular public transport services.
during major events and during the Christmas market is the supply line 421 at weekends upright and extended into the late evening hours.
connecting link
ensure the local bus concept is not only a connection of the districts to the Hövel Hofer center, but also provides links to the regional transportation network safe. Connection points are in the station and the breakpoint Hövelhof Hövel squad. The local bus Hövel Hofer is for all citizens a new line with an attractive schedule.
Possible further
far wrong the HOB as a basic offering in the normal rush hour on any working day except Saturday. To tap in the leisure market new potential customers to test the community Hövelhof and Nahverkehrsverbund nph the extension of the Offer on-demand traffic in the evenings and on weekends.
financing
receives addition to the fare revenues, the HOB a grant award by the municipality Hövelhof. In the first year of operation received from the local transport network nph start-up funding in the amount of 61,000 marks the second year of 40,000 marks. Since then, the HOB flying into account previous payments for the exempted student transportation, which are omitted shut down when the HOB, without aid from the object beam. Vehicles Under the given conditions for the HOB could not completely new bus fleet be purchased. Of the five vehicles used are four buses older vehicles. The vehicle, which is used primarily on the line 421 is a modern low-floor bus standard. All vehicles carry a special exterior design with the HOB logo. On outdoor advertising was deliberately omitted.
demand
in the first year were counted at the newly established local bus 421, more than 7,500 passengers. Also on the other HOB lines developed passenger numbers (mainly students) were positive. 1997 a total of 257 900 customers took advantage of the HOB, 1998, there were already 306 500.
Accompanying measures at bus stops
be built in the municipality Hövelhof expected to 1999 a total of 13 new passenger shelters at bus stops and new bicycle parking at train stations and Hövelhof Hövel squad. Of the public transport network developed nph funding request for these measures has been a positive response. The shelters are designed to be transparent and offer more residential quality through an integrated seat, an information display case for schedule and scope information, and an externally mounted, covered trash. In addition, several bus stops with other information display, seating and litter bins be retrofitted. The total investments to net about 320,000 marks.
more bus projects
addition to the local bus Hövel Hofer exist in the territory of the local transport system in Paderborn / Höxter (nph) more urban / Ortsbusprojekte. Similarly, the offer is in Hövelhof it to services which are covered in their first step of implementing the basic needs in such communities that have been experienced in urban areas do not have enough development by public transport. Already since 31 May 1999 go city traffic in Warburg and Wünnenberg, 1 November 1999 start of the bus in Höxter. Common to these buses, that they
- initially with a vehicle
- by a possible optimal schedule the upstream residential areas in the city center and train station or local buses connect. An extension to a real city bus concept (with half hour and rendezvous point) will be sought. It depends on demand and financial situation.
In all three cases, the BVO GmbH Ostwestfalen bus operator. The creation of a separate bus-GmbH is not currently scheduled. The city bus services in Warburg and Höxter Wünnenberg are supported by the respective municipality provides seed funding. These communities in turn will be provided with a grant from the nph. After expiry of the initial funding is applied gradually decreased to the city bus services self-supporting. The Hövel Hofer local bus concept also ensures a connection to the regional transport network.
.......
Since 1997, I call for the Radevormwald. On a line in the wrong bus today Hövelhof hourly instead of every two hours!

letter from me dated 18/07/2010:
local bus instead of school bus - how long must we wait?
So far 400 students rode the school bus, but there Radevormwald 700,000 euros from a year. If these students with a bus drive, that would be only 174 250 € for students yearly ticket. But to save, now another 150 young people from the bus to be driven on the school bus. The reason: Another school bus would cost less than the student season tickets. Fact is, Radevormwald would lead to all pupils, students and season ticket ordered the school bus traffic as a local bus that would only cost 296 208 € for students Embroidered years. In order for the school bus would not be well funded. But yes you can 403 792 €, which are currently paid in addition to the school bus had to pay for the local bus. Then all the students come to school, but the rural population can sometimes go without a car in the city. Moreover, a line-by Honsberg Kräwinkel Heather created. Here are more than 1,000 residents without bus connection, here is a region with high value and more go here several times a day on school days the buses. This extended to the holiday, should not be too expensive. Afternoon buses leave from the school center to the town and take all the people who want the land. Those who want the country to the city, this has to register by phone if he wants to be sure that the bus starts moving to the next stop. In this Hövelhof works. The school bus as a local bus service has improved the quality of life and by selling more tickets and subsidized rides for disabled even the municipal treasury relieved. Since 1998, I call for the Radevormwald and I have informed several members of the Council.
questionable I find the testimony of OVAG that it is only the VRS-student ticket, valid all day, or students yearly ticket (this only applies to school-related trips) from the city can be ordered. While residents of the lines 626 and 671 have great opportunities to use the better student ticket intense, this may be more critical for the rural population, if the bus is only 4 times a day available. Here, parents and schools should have the choice Sammelbstellung by both types of tickets for the students allowed to order. The OVAG should the VRS urge that can order the schools in rural areas, both types of tickets.
When I'm on local elections in the outer regions of flyers distributed, I addressed all passers-by there and asked what they thought of a local bus on the basis of today's action school bus traffic. Several people, especially women who had no car available, which would be most welcome. Only our council people seem to have forgotten majority, that they should represent the people. Why does it take from 1998 to 2010, that only begins to think about such a proposal? Why do so many politicians are resistant to citizens proposals? "I can not for the life of not imagine the pay off there public buses, "said City Treasurer Meskendahl. Buses are always making business and worth only by its usefulness to society. But if I think a school bus system, does not, however, this was transformed into a local bus. because in the Compared to the school bus may be the local bus worthwhile after all. This requires no imagination, to, a look at the small of the CDU ruled Hövelhof where the works since early 1997, well (see above).
It's sad that the not discussed in Radevormwald Transport Committee on this topic. Would not traffic and school board can meet an agenda item in common order then to separate the other points? In the glass case from the Town Hall and at the community center or in classrooms, there is still enough room for meetings.
