Göttingen Launches Rainbow Bus: A Symbol of Diversity in Public Transport

Göttingen, a city renowned for its rich cultural heritage, has made headlines with a vibrant new addition to its public transport system. The Göttingen Transportation Company (GöVB) introduced a colourfully designed bus, dubbed the 'Rainbow Bus', on Tuesday, August 26, 2025. This initiative aligns with the city's commitment to community engagement, cultural expression, and sustainability.

The Rainbow Bus, adorned with a striking rainbow design, is more than just a mode of transport. It serves as a symbol of diversity, tolerance, and equality, embodying the city's inclusive spirit. Mayor Petra Broistedt, a strong advocate for the initiative, describes Göttingen as 'colorful, diverse, open-minded, and tolerant'.

The GöVB, which employs 470 people from over 20 nations, has further demonstrated its commitment to diversity by signing the 'Charter of Diversity'. This charter recognises and appreciates diversity within and outside the city administration. The Rainbow Bus will be in service 365 days a year, reaching thousands of people daily, making it a constant reminder of the city's dedication to inclusivity.

The Rainbow Bus, a brainchild of the GöVB, is not just a bus; it's a statement. It underscores the city's commitment to diversity, tolerance, and equality. With the support of Mayor Petra Broistedt and the GöVB's public commitment to the 'Charter of Diversity', the Rainbow Bus is set to become a beloved icon of Göttingen's public transportation system, welcoming all who board.
