history
The company Rhenus Veniro was founded in its current form on December 1st, 2007, after the dissolution of the previously existing company Rhenus Keolis, whose shareholders included the French state railway SNCF. Under the name of Eurobahn the local rail transport in North Rhine-Westphalia and Lower Saxony was taken over. The Rhenus Veniro division took over regional rail transport in Rhineland-Palatinate on the Moselweinbahn (Bullay - Traben-Trarbach), the Donnersbergbahn (Alzey - Kirchheimbolanden) and the Hunsrückbahn (Boppard - Emmelshausen). Since the 2014 timetable change, the Donnersbergbahn is no longer operated by Rhenus Veniro, but by Vlexx GmbH. The Rhineland Palatinate Bus company Martin Becker GmbH based in Altenkirchen in the Westerwald has been a 100% subsidiary of Rhenus Veniro since the takeover. The transport services of the two railway lines are carried out on behalf of Special purpose association for local rail passenger transport Rhineland-Palatinate North (SPNV North) and will be after Rhineland-Palatinate clock carried out. The local rail transport services of Rhenus Veniro were taken over by Transdev SE & Co. KG, the company's headquarters are in Moers in North Rhine-Westphalia.

vehicles
Vehicles of this type run on the Moselweinbahn and the Hunsrückbahn Type RegioShutlle RS1, These were taken over by the railway company TransRegio, which operated the Pellenz-Eifel route with these vehicles until the Pellenz-Eifel-Bahn was taken over by the DB Regio. Since the Hunsrückbahn between Boppard Hbf and Boppard Fleckertshöhe is a steep stretch which is used by a large number of crossbikers, especially in summer, the multi-purpose compartments of the RegioShuttle were significantly enlarged during the takeover. The vehicles also have ticket machines and handicapped accessible toilets.
Bicycle transport
It is possible to take bicycles with you on the trains of the Hunsrückbahn and the Moselweinbahn, the trains of the Hunsrückbahn have larger bicycle compartments because the Boppard bike-cross route means that there is a significantly higher need for bicycles between Boppard Hbf and Boppard-Buchholz.
