PTT Setra in Lugano

After Daimler-Benz took control of Saurer most of the orders for Swiss Post buses either went to Mercedes or as in this instance Setra. Lugano was a typical allocation as they were preferred for the holiday areas over the bus-like O405's. They were not loved by garage staff though as the electrics was a nightmare and they were also prone to serious winter corrosion especially by the front step. Being in the milder Italian Titino region south of the Alps meant the vehicles remained comparatively rust free I expect.
