DSCN2207 Zugerland Verkehrsbetriebe (ZVB) buses in Zug - 16 Jun 2008

Monday 16 June 2008 (1327 hrs) - Zugerland Verkehrsbetriebe (ZVB) 139 (ZG 3399) seen in Bahnhofplatz near Zug railway station (which was behind the camera) ready to work the 1338 trip of service 33 to Baar via Arbach and Inwil. (A different Inwil than the one served by buses in Luzern). Bus 13 (ZG 54613), a NAW, stands across the street working the 1339 service 2 to Kreuzegg. It is fitted with a tow hitch and cycle racks. In front of that was bus 109, another NAW, which was towing a drawbar trailer (number 410 also fitted with cycle racks!) working the 1340 service 1 to Oberägeri. When I first visited Zug in 1987, ZVB had recently revamped its image with an orange and white livery (having phased out blue). One of the last remaining orange buses (NAW number 137) can be seen behind 139. It was working the 1340 service 12 to Gimenen, a ‘Flexibus’ (Dial-a-ride) service. Behind that was Mercedes-Benz Citaro 15 working the 1336 service 5 to Walchwil (due 1358). On special days the buses carry flags. The red/white Swiss national flag and the blue/white Zug Canton flag were carried by 139.
