Unlike in Britain where coordinating public transport to give good information and provide reliable through journey connections is not permitted as it is unfair to the poor old motorist who pays so much in taxes already, Switzerland's transport system works like clockwork. The busiest time is at mid-day when the school kids go home and all over the land local and country buses gather alongside the railway station, and once they've departed it can become almost empty for a couple of hours till the approach of the next key departure time.
Very nice pictures,
ReplyDeleteI remember the FBW/Frech-Hoch (VS 16'098), to Daillon, PAH Evéquoz.
I travel once or twice with the Magirus (VS 1742) to Aproz-Fey. This bus belong to PAH Rielle until 1990.
The Saurer/Lauber (VS 1774) to Arbaz belong to PAH Constantin. It is a unique modell because the front indication "Arbaz"...
There seemed to be three identical FBW's in service with this operator. When I go travelling I always take a tape-recorder with me and I took a short ride on one of these C50U's to the outskirts of Sion and when the driver sounded it I was surprised to find it was fitted with a loud traditional 'Alpine Horn'.
