Transportation network for Tiscino (canton), Switzerland

Carl Rogers 18 April 2005 00:40:20
 The transportation service here is named: "Ferrovie Autolinee Regionali
Ticinesi"

As described in Wikipedia:

"...provides the urban and suburban bus network of Locarno, Switzerland,
cable cars between Verdasio and Rasa, and between Intragna - Pila - Costa,
and the Centovalli Railway which connects the Gotthard trans-Alpine rail
route at Locarno with the Simplon trans-Alpine route at Domodossola, Italy.
There are 10 stations on the Swiss side of the frontier and 12 stations on
the Italian side, the complete rail journey taking approximately 1 hour and
45 minutes.
A formal request for the licensing of a rail network was made by the mayor
of Locarno, Francesco Balli, in 1898, but although construction of the
Centovalli Railway was begun in May 1913, the collapse of the financing bank
later that year, together with the intervention of the First World War meant
that construction was not resumed until August 1921, with the line being
constructed from each end and meeting on 27 March 1923 and public service
being inaugurated on 25 November 1923. As well as an important public
service, the route of the railway is extremely scenic and the route is
popular with tourists.

The company's acronym is often a source of some amusement to English
speakers."

Cheers,

Carl Rogers
