At first glance this bus looks like a Mercedes but it is a Stuttgart built Vetter and they were quite common in the ranks of the Swiss PAH Post Bus contractors. For me because of the clear air and afternoon light Tarasp was the perfect spot to take photographs and with plenty of mundane activity seemed to sum up the atmosphere of busy moments at the small Swiss railway station. Swiss trains are famous for their punctuality and one can usually plan on getting almost any hour before returning but once or twice when I got here I had to rush down to Scoul on foot in the slippery winter conditions to visit the Post Bus Garage with a hard slippery slog back up the steep hillside expatiated by breathlessness caused by the high altitude here in the South East corner of Switzerland. Still if I had any sense I would have waited for a bus but with the train being late they would have already gone.
