Luzern bus station - 4 May 1981

Monday 4 May 1981 – Luzern bus station from my room at the Hotel Monopol, the main railway station is to the right. The twin spires of the church of St. Leodegar can be seen across the water of Vierwaldstättersee (Lake Luzern) (behind the taller tree). This was a business trip to our regional office located close to the church and they did me proud by requesting a room offering this magnificent view (except that the opportunity to view it was limited).

Some of the blue buses of Verkhersbetriebe der Stadt Luzern (VBL) can be seen, an artic trolleybus heads towards the bottom of the photo. Above it is a diesel version awaiting to turn into the bus station and beyond that are two rigid trolleybuses. Beyond the concourse are a couple more diesel buses of VBL plus a cream bus perhaps working a contract for VBL.
