Not surprisingly being a nation of clockmakers the Swiss transport system is co-ordinated to run effortlessly like clockwork. Consequently many bus departures leave at the same time as they do here at Luzern as buses jostle for position as they queue at the traffic-lights beside the station. The Volvo articulated bus belonged to the City but other small operators work for them too and also carry the smart blue and white local livery like the Mercedes based NAW with Frech Hoch bodywork of Sissach. Sadly this is one of many small bodybuilder's who have now closed their doors and it ended in 1993 having been born at the dawn of the motorbus in 1899. Today we treat the past like art and shut it away in museums seeing little value in it's merits.
