Zugerland Verkhersbetriebe (ZVB) buses at Zug - 14 Nov 1987

Saturday 14 November 1987 – Zugerland Verkhersbetriebe (ZVB) buses outside the railway station in Zug. The bus nearest the camera (ZG 3375 of which I didn’t note the fleet number) is a Ramsier und Jenzer bodied FBW on the stand for service 11 to Schönegg from where there is a funicular railway connection to Zugerberg. Behind that is Hess bodied FBW number 5 (ZG 3355) which was about to go round the roundabout to face in the opposite direction and park on the loading stand for service 1 to Oberägeri. Whilst it is not too obvious from this angle the latter is towing a drawbar trailer which appears to look like a third bus. Drawbar trailers boost passenger capacity at busy times without the need for extra staff and fuel costs. On the left is part of Zug’s railway station which comprises a ‘Y’ shaped junction. The platform visible is for the line towards the Gotthard tunnel and Italy. I returned to Zug in June 2008. The railway station had been completely modernised featuring a large glass building visible in the background of these photographs:
