POSTAUTO - Postbus - Swiss Postal Coaches

It began modestly in 1906, as a service running between Berne and Detligen. Now, more than 100 years later, Switzerland is simply unimaginable without its yellow postbuses. Over the last 100 years, Postbus has become a key player in the public transport sector in Switzerland. Thanks to a network of routes covering over 10,000 kilometres, the distinctive yellow vehicles can be seen in all parts of the country and they play a major role in linking rural areas with the major centres of population. Since 1906, Postbus has emerged as something of a flagship, not just for Swiss Post, but for Switzerland as a whole. The 2,000 postbuses currently in operation are a symbol of reliability as well as high quality. And of course, these yellow vehicles are also closely associated with the legendary three-tone horn, which has spread the fame of Postbus and tourism in Switzerland well beyond the country's borders.
