BLS is the strongest independent private railroad in Switzerland and operates on behalf of seven cantons. BLS sees itself as an innovative and ambitious mobility provider. In addition to buses and ships, BLS operates a 420 kilometer rail network in Switzerland. It transports its guests, comfortably by car train through the Lötschbergand Simplon tunnels. In over 500 small and large projects, it maintains this rail network, renews it and continues to expand it for better public transport connections.
BLS continues to systematically implement the thrusts of the corporate strategy drawn up in 2018. In it, it lays the foundation for a sustainable future and responds to the challenges in the environment of mobility in general and in public transport in particular. These challenges include rising customer requirements, increasing competition in passenger and freight transport, and changes in work processes due to the digital transformation. BLS is also feeling increasing cost pressure from the public sector. In this exciting momentum, Yvette Körber will be actively involved in implementing this strategy.
