Clocking off: One million Kilometers already!


Swiss Post Buses never seemed to have particularly arduous lives spending a lot of their time standing around waiting for time or the next job in the sunshine or snow, but regardless of this they must have clocked up the hours like this one-million-kilometer Volvo stopped outside the local PAH Contractor's premises for a crew change on the Frick to Aarau service. Maybe I should say one of the two services as buses belonging to the Post Office itself working from a garage at both the small town of Frick and Aarau ran the other service. Yes in Switzerland bus services outside the cities tend to be very local and the crews come from the local community which must add to the friendly efficient service they enjoy. This bus carried the AG letters for the Canton of Aargau whereas in those days of course the proper 'regie' post buses could be identified by their P-suffix.
