Bavarian Motorpost Lines.
The Bavarian Minister of Traffic continues to extend the motorpost system whenever practical, even though an extension may involve considerable expenditure for bringing the roads up to motorbus pitch. For instance. the Weissenburg
Thalmannsfeld line, opened last year, is to be connected up with a town cal led Eichstatt, notwithstanding that it will cost as much as 25.000 to give one of the road-sections a suitable surface. Apropos of road-surface, tourists in Austria say that the motorpost omnibuse, there are playing terrible havoc with the mountain roads,
the type of vehicle being altogether too heavy for the surfaces as at present constructed—or, rather, as constructed for the old-fashioned wheel traffic. But the Bavarian authorities are evidently going the right way to work: a lightish vehicle, together with a scientific adaptation of the roadway to motor traffic, are the rule.
