NJL

What NJL does

NJL (Nahverkehrsgesellschaft Jerichower Land mbH) is a regional public transport company headquartered in Burg, Saxony-Anhalt, Germany, and registered as a private limited liability company (GmbH) at Amtsgericht Stendal. The company is the largest transport operator in the Jerichower Land district, employing over 100 staff and providing services through two wholly-owned operating subsidiaries, PNV Burg mbH and PNV Genthin mbH.

The company's core product is a 23-line bus network covering the entire Jerichower Land district, supplemented by the Ferchland-Grieben ferry service across the Elbe River and dedicated school transportation (Schülerverkehr). Additional services include the Deutschland-Ticket subscription product (63 EUR/month from January 2026), sold as a chip card or via the INSA D-Ticket App, timetable information services, and vehicle advertising managed through partner VM Verkehrsmedien Sachsen-Anhalt GmbH. Technology infrastructure is limited to route scheduling and third-party ticketing integration via INSA; no proprietary AI or advanced digital platforms are evident.

Revenue is generated from passenger fares (including the nationwide Deutschland-Ticket subscription), school transport contracts, advertising, and implicitly from district-level public funding typical of German municipal transport operators. NJL operates within the marego regional tariff network (Magdeburg Regional Transport Association), which is implementing a tariff reform effective August 1, 2026. The company is led by Managing Director Daniela Kramper, with Michael Ruth as IT responsible and Steffi Maziossek managing regional media sales.
