Re: [Cz-L] First Autobus Lines in Czernowitz

The first buses were not electrical but Fiat gasoline engined.
  By the newspaper report the faults were :
  No fixed stops.
  The bus would wait until filled up.
   Suggestions in paper:
    The drivers should assist passengers getting on board.
  ( also some bystanders )

>From what I remember, from 1940 and on, Czernowitz did not have
autobuses,
there were tramcars, called "tramvay" which operated on metal lines
built into the pavement and electrical lines above. And there were
"omnibuses"
which operated on wheels like a bus, but electrical lines above, like
a tramcar.
I remember much preferring the "omnibus" to the "tramvay", but I do
not know why.
