The Bavarian Oberland is source region for comuters heading towards Munich as well as destination area for the inhabitants of Munich going into the mountains and to the lakes. The massive increase of road traf- fic requires a strong railway as alternative. The Bayerische Oberlandbahn GmbH is operating at this region with BOB since 1998. Despite of initiating numerous quality measures, a reliable and customer-oriented service couldn't be established due to a mixed fleet of unreliable vehicles type Integral and type Talent. Therefore, various vehicle concepts have been analysed as a replacement and in the end diesel trains have been bought in order to bridge the gap till electrification. The implementation of new vehicles while the contract is still running, is serving at the best of customers and the region and may be considered as unique. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
