Post Bus; Bendibuses in Bern

Both of these Post Buses seen at the Post Auto Bus Station in Bern were artics but whereas the PAH contractor's Volvo carries the old PTT livery which included a proper PTT (Post-Telephone-Telegraph) yellow, later buses of the reborn stand-alone Die Post/La Poste buses like Regie P27716 made-do with an inferior factory colour. Thankfully they still carried their distinguishing P-numberplate's but later that was to go too. However Postbus is still going strong and even though it has lost it's special status and monopoly in Switzerland, freedom to market itself has meant that it now runs satalites in various parts of France too using about 180 buses. Still this is nothing new as with Lichtenstein numberplate's to set them apart they had worked in that Principality too. Wouldn't it be funny if it bought out our troubled British operator National Express and yellow post buses ran through Smethwick.
