Hogger

What Hogger does

Hogger GmbH, doing business as Hogger Reisen, is a third-generation, family-owned regional passenger transport company headquartered at Traunsteiner Straße 7 in Freilassing, Germany. Founded in 1945 by Anton Hogger and currently led by his grandson Thomas Richter as Geschäftsführer, the firm operates scheduled public bus routes (Linienverkehr), on-demand Rufbus services, dedicated school transport (Schülerbeförderung), customized group travel (Gruppenreisen), and charter bus rentals (Mietbus) for clubs, associations, school classes, and corporate clients. Its fleet spans minibuses through to modern luxury coaches equipped with air conditioning, video, toilet, and galley, and includes electric Mercedes-Benz eVito Tourer Pro vehicles supporting sustainable rural mobility.

Operations span the Bavaria-Salzburg border region, with additional offices opened in Stadt Salzburg and Bischofshofen in September 2018. Hogger is integrated as a partner operator into the Salzburger Verkehrsverbund ticketing and route-planning network and into Bayern-Fahrplanauskunft, and it runs municipal/community bus partnerships with Ainring, Traunreut, Teisendorf, and Traunstein district. Its on-demand Rufbus requires passengers to book at least 30 minutes in advance, with fares of €2.00 per adult ride, €1.00 for youth (6-14), and a €36.50 annual ticket.

Revenue is generated through a mix of per-ride transaction fees on scheduled and on-demand bus routes, quote-based pricing for charter and full-service group travel, dedicated school transport contracts, and a smaller corporate logistics segment that has handled day-tour work for freight-forwarding clients such as Dachser. Distribution is direct-to-consumer via phone, email, website inquiry forms, and a Facebook page, supplemented by association membership-driven referral traffic. The company is privately held with no external funding, no disclosed subsidiaries, and no parent organization.
