early buses on the Autobahn


Just over 75 years ago, in May 1935, with the opening of the first Reichsautobahn the Deutsche Reichsbahn (German Empire Railway) started a bus business on the growing Reichsautobahn network, which by 1939 comprised 3,300 km. The above illustration is a timetable for the service between Dresden and Plauen.
An interesting book on the subject of early Autobahn bus traffic is the one below by Volkhard Stern.
