In the past, towns and districts were responsible for the local public transport in their region. When the VBN was founded, it established the Zweckverband Verkehrsverbund Bremen/Niedersachsen (ZVBN) in 1996 as a trans-regional institution. Since then, the ZVBN has been legally responsible on behalf of the towns and districts for the local public transport (bus, trams) in the VBN area.
