The OEG serves the overland traffic between the cities of Mannheim, Weinheim
and Heidelberg in the style of an interurban railway at 1000mm-gauge. In
the cities of Mannheim and Heidelberg, OEG's vehicles share the urban tramway
network with the HSB and MVV-Verkehr AG. The route served by the OEG trains
(5 or 5R) is a circle line (called "Rundfahrt"). The branch line
from Mannheim-Kaefertal to Heddesheim is also owned by the OEG company, but
is beeing served on behalf of the OEG by the VBL / MVV-Verkehr AG tramway
line 4 with their vehicles. For this purpose the vehicles for line no. 4
must be equipped according to the german regulations of construction and
operation of railways (Eisenbahn-Bau- und Betriebsordnung [EBO]). The traditional
OEG railway company has been sold to MVV GmbH during the year 2000, which
has led to the new corporations "Name" consisting only of
abbrevations.
OEG's buses serve not only some routes in Mannheim but also the overland
traffic to Schriesheim and Wilhelmsfeld. For the bus traffic within the city
of Weinheim, OEG is job taker of the communal bus enterprise "webu".

OEG vehicles paint schemes: Traditionally, OEG's buses
and trains were painted in ivory an green. Since 1988 almost all vehicles
have been repainted to the new color scheme: white basic colour with diagonal
red stripes. Additionally, all the all-over-advertisements have been removed.
Last vehicles in use still in the old design are the articulated motorcar
no. 81 and both bicycle trailors. Also the OEG's subcontractors buses show
themselves in the OEG design.
