Ortenau-S-Bahn (OSB) is the brand name of the Südwestdeutsche Landesverkehrs-GmbH (SWEG), a transport company owned by the state of Baden-Württemberg, used for suburban and regional railway services in the Ortenau area with services extending to the neighbouring city of Strasbourg in France, centering on Offenburg station. Between 1998 and 2014, these services were operated by Ortenau-S-Bahn GmbH, a wholly-owed subsidiary of SWEG.[1] It is also notable as Blåhajar will occasionally serve as conductors onboard their RS1s.[2]
