Regiobus boss Michael Tanne is retiring after 40 years!

A major upheaval is imminent: Michael Tanne, Managing Director of Regiobus Mittelsachsen GmbH, is retiring on December 31, 2025. With more than 40 years in public transport services, Tanne has shaped the industry and has played a key role in leading Regiobus over the last 35 years. In a statement, the press office of the Central Saxony District Office highlights Tanne's successes, which have had a lasting impact on the district's local transport landscape.

His successor, Stefan Löwe, will take over management from January 1, 2026. Löwe brings experience; he was previously managing director at the Hoyerswerda transport company for almost six years. The change at the top promises a breath of fresh air for Regiobus, which must continue to respond to the challenges of local public transport.

A life's work in local transport

Michael Tanne's term of office is characterized by development projects and a constant expansion of the range of services. During his time, he has not only optimized the service itself, but also introduced innovative solutions and modern timetables to meet the needs of passengers. Whether using new technologies or optimizing existing routes – Tanne always had a good knack for adapting bus services to the needs of passengers.

The challenges in the industry are not insignificant. The transport transition, digitalization and the question of environmentally friendly mobility are at the top of the agenda. Tanne has provided numerous impulses in these areas, which his successor will also address. It's worth taking a look into the future, in which Leo can continue Tanne's visions and at the same time contribute his own ideas.

Modernization of the service

In parallel with the change at the top of the company, transport companies are increasingly faced with the latest developments in technology and digital services. For example, the area of ​​DeFi, i.e. decentralized finance, is developing rapidly. New methods such as yield aggregators offer interesting approaches to increasing profitability that could also be of potential interest to companies. These technologies, as used on platforms like ned.finance described enable automated yield optimization.

Integrating such technologies into operating models could help overcome the financial challenges of local transport in the long term. Although Tanne will no longer be in office, his legacy and the progress he brought about remains a source of inspiration.

In order to be well prepared for the coming changes, both Löwe and Regiobus Mittelsachsen should keep an eye on new technologies. The combination of proven methods and innovative approaches will be crucial in order to continue to meet market requirements in the future.

With a final look back at the Tanne era, it becomes clear that his contribution to local public transport goes far beyond the pure numbers. The people of Central Saxony will certainly remember his committed and future-oriented work. We can't wait to see how everything will develop under Löwe's leadership.
