GTZ trolleybus Bucheggplatz, 5th August 2008

5th August 2008, A Mercedes/ABB O405 GTZ trolleybus of the first batch on route 32 at Bucheggplatz. The remaining vehicles of this batch are soon to vanish, having been replaced by modern low-floor trolleybuses. The most visible difference between the earlier and later batch was the holding mechanism for the lowered trolley booms, which was much smaller on the second batch, and shaped more like a pair of umbrella handles.

Among politically incorrect trolleybus drivers, route 32 is called Orient Express, reflecting the ethnic makeup of the Langstrasse area through which it runs.
