DSCN1793 Liechtenstein Bus Anstalt FL 7955 (operated by Ivo Matt A.G.)

Tues 10 June 2008 – 1416 hrs (Local time) - Ivo Matt A.G. is the main contractor operating LBA (Liechtenstein Bus Anstalt) services – most buses carrying the neon yellow LBA colours. The company has a few older buses like this Setra bus (FL 7955) which carry Swiss Postbus livery perhaps from the pre-LBA days when buses were operated as Postbus services. These having LBA logos applied. It was seen at Malbun with the correct destination for service 21 although I don’t know what actual service timing it was working. The normal service bus (seen in the background – number 57 (FL 28057) on the scheduled 1333 service from Vaduz had arrived on time, and lightly loaded just before it at 1404 and worked, as expected, the 1450 return service. Upon unloading the Setra immediately turned round and ran back empty out of service. Malbun is Liechtenstein’s main ski resort in the winter months. Some snow was still about on the higher ground above the village.
