[Cz-L] First Autobus Lines in Czernowitz

Czernowitzers...

Something for our "techies", but not only! In addition to Iosif's report on the first trolleybus lines in Czernowitz, I've published an illustrated article on the "First Autobus Lines in Czernowitz" at our ehpes.com Blog:

http://ehpes.com/blog1/2014/05/09/omnibus-lines-in-czernowitz/

"Putting into operation of 10 autobuses, bearing the car numbers 310-319 by I.E.C.M. [Electromechanical Corporation of the Municipality of Czernowitz] on August 26, 1933, servicing three permanent and two seasonal bus routes. The autobuses, Type Fiat 622, assembled in Brașov, were dark red, had a 45 HP engine, 19 seats on luxury leather benches, ventilation system and a double door, manually or automatically operated by the driver. The bus garage has been erected next to the tramway depot."

All aboard?!
