Why "BueBus" became "Büfobus"

As our project progressed, it became increasingly clear to us: The name should not only describe a citizen bus – but also show where the project comes from and what it stands for.

That is why we have decided to continue the project under the name "Büfobus".

The idea behind the name

"Büfobus" is composed of several terms:

  • BÜ → Citizen

  • FO → Forum

  • BU → Buchhalde

  • DE → Dettingen

The name deliberately connects to our existing platform Buefobude.de – which has stood for years for the citizen forum, community, exchange, and local projects in Dettingen an der Erms.

The new name thus combines:

  • the citizen bus project,

  • the citizen forum,

  • the social idea behind the project,

  • and the local roots in Dettingen.

Simpler, more natural, and memorable

Another important point was the practicality of the name in everyday life. While "BüBus" can sound choppy or unfamiliar when spoken, "Büfobus" is clearly more natural, fluid, and friendly to pronounce.

The name feels:

  • softer,

  • more sympathetic,

  • easier to understand,

  • and stays in your mind more easily.

For a project that lives on community, closeness, and simple accessibility, this is a great advantage.

More than just a bus

"Büfobus" sounds more personal, independent, and community-oriented than a purely technical name like "BueBus".

Because our goal is not simply a transport service. We want to create a social mobility offer that connects people, strengthens neighborhood ties, and makes mobility more accessible.

The new name conveys exactly this idea: a citizen project from the heart of the community.

Why not simply "Citizen Bus"?

The term "Citizen Bus" is used by many projects across Germany and is rather a general designation.

"Büfobus" creates, on the other hand:

  • a distinct recognition value,

  • a stronger local identity,

  • a clear connection to the citizen forum,

  • and a modern, memorable brand for future developments around mobility, platform, and community.

Step by step, this creates not just a bus project – but a local platform for community mobility in Dettingen an der Erms.
