New cross-border EuroAirport–Lörrach bus service introduced

EuroAirport’s links to the public transport system are now even better. The new 220 FREUND regional business service operates every hour, and every half-hour at peak times, between Lörrach and EuroAirport. The new line was officially opened last Saturday with an inaugural trip that took specially invited guests all together to the former Franco-German Palmrain border checkpoint in Village-Neuf.

EuroAirport has bus connections to the SBB (Switzerland), SNCF (France), DB (Germany) national rail networks and to the Lörrach regional S-Bahn rail network via the Basel, Saint-Louis, Freiburg im Breisgau and now also the Weil am Rhein-Haltingen und Lörrach rail stations. As of today, EuroAirport is connected by two bus lines to neighbouring localities in Germany.

Better connections to neighbouring areas in Germany

The new cross-border 220 FREUND regional line provides the first direct bus connection between Germany and France in the southern Upper Rhine region. The service operates from Lörrach bus station to the Airport and back on an hourly basis. At peak times, it runs every half an hour. It provides connections to DB’s German rail network and to the Lörrach regional S-Bahn train network. For further information, please refer to the Lörrach district’s media release.

Flixbus, the « Freiburger Airportbus », continues to provide journey times of barely an hour from EuroAirport to Freiburg im Breisgau. Both lines depart from the Airport’s French Sector. The district of Lörrach can also be reached via the Swiss sector by taking bus line 50 to Basel SBB rail station and changing to regional S-Bahn line S6.

Supplementing existing public transport network

The Basel Public Transport (BVB) bus line 50, which departs from the Swiss Sector, connects EuroAirport to the Basel SBB rail station and from there to the Swiss rail network.

The line 11 shuttle bus, which operates from the French Sector, connects EuroAirport to Saint-Louis station and from there to SNCF’s French network, serving Mulhouse in the immediate vicinity.

The new EuroAirport-Lörrach bus line aligns perfectly with the Airport's overall concept to improve landside accessibility to the airport platform. As part of a comprehensive mobility concept, the Airport is involving its partners to make landside access more fossil-free. Also in this context, the BVB operator is replacing its previous generation of buses with electric-powered extra-long, high-capacity buses.
