Omnibus Karrie GmbH, based in Soest, is a family-run bus company with roots dating back to 1908, when August Karrie established a horse-and-wagon transport business. Now led by Gisela Karrie in the third generation, the company operates under the familiar “Jägerken von Soest” name, reflected in its branding and vehicles. Its main activities are local public bus services and bus hire for groups and organisations.

The company provides transport for group and club outings, school trips, transfers and corporate excursions. Its fleet includes Citaro interurban buses with seating for 40 to 53 passengers, as well as an eight-seat minibus for smaller groups. Bus features include air conditioning, a microphone, a wheelchair ramp and a low-entry option enabled by vehicle lowering. Most larger buses have seat belts, and they are approved for travel at speeds of up to 100 km/h on motorways. Customers can contact Omnibus Karrie by phone or email to make a non-binding enquiry about hiring a bus.
