TipTopSwiss 170:366

When venturing out today to buy bread for lunch Isaac and I witnessed what happens when the electric buses have a problem. The driver jumps out of his cab with a telescopic pole and reaffixes the 'things on the roof' to the poster lines. Quick and easy solution - the bus had gone when we returned 5 minutes later!

I love your observations! Swiss efficiency at its best: Electric buses and MacGyver-y bus drivers!

I LOVE the buses here! Air conditioned, efficient and usually very clean. I've been to England three times since we moved here and every visit has involved a run in with late running public transport, including missing a plane. Give me SBB, ZVV and Stadtbus Winterthur anyday!

Lisibo's 2012 challenge

This blog is my 2012 challenge - post a photograph of the something Swiss, and share a word or two in one of the languages of Switzerland every day for a year.

This follows on from Window on my world 365 my 2011 challenge to photograph the view of / from a window each day, and Trees365 my 2010 challenge to post a photograph of a tree.

And if you want to follow my family's first steps as we settle in Switzerland, you might like to see SwissMiss-Adventures.

My professional blog is called ¡Vámonos! and looks at teaching and learning in the 21st century, with a particular focus on primary language learning, creativity and the use of technology.
