Update[edit]

I am translating the German page into English. I am going to replace the term "mail coach" with "stagecoach." The image on the "stagecoach" page is Swiss! I am going to leave it for now, but will update again within the next few months. Look at Brugg for proof that.

Irrelevant redirect[edit]

The reference to the post bus in Kinlochewe has nothing to do with the Swiss postauto. Peter Horn 00:11, 28 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

'independent subsidiary company'[edit]

The article has previously said that PostBus Switzerland is an independent subsidiary company. It is not clear from the article whether independent here is just vague wording, or whether there is indeed some special corporate structure (for example, independent trustees) to prevent Swiss Post from using its ownership of the company to influence its decisions.

Searching the web, I can find no sign of the latter. Nor is it obvious why anybody would want to interfere with the normal privileges and responsibilities of ownership in this case. So I've assumed this is just vague wording and removed it. If I'm wrong, please reinsert, but please indicate how the independence is guaranteed, why such an arrangement was felt necessary, and cite it all. Thanks. -- chris_j_wood (talk) 09:28, 28 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Not a PostBus[edit]

The photo captioned "A PostBus bus in Altstätten in 1984" does NOT show a post bus. This is bus #35 of Rheintalische Verkehrsbetriebe (RhV, nowadays RheintalBus). 93.194.202.204 (talk) 19:56, 22 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
