"Busses in the Snow" - Heavy Snowfalls in Aldrans/Austria (22/12/11)

Due to heavy snowfalls on 22/12/11, bus lines were affected by severe delays as roads had to be closed after several accidents. The video shows a couple of scenes in Aldrans, with an increasing amount of snow... Busses, of course, could not drive around without chains, especially in this mountainous region.
Bus operators: PostBus Tirol, Innsbrucker Verkehrsbetriebe.
Bus models: Mercedes-Benz "Citaro", MAN "Lion's City"

@AustrianMusicFan Yes, I know that England and the rest of the UK are not always coping too well with snow... We certainly are more prepared for events like these. However, this winter was particularly tough, so that all that snow was a challenge for anybody who had to leave the house - by foot or by motorised vehicle :-) Public transport, at least, was fairly reliable, considering the weather situations, of course. Usually it got held up stuck by stuck cars... Cheers!

Why can't other countries keep up to this level, here in England you see service cancellations by just a little bit of snow, I have never seen snow chains in Britain at all just makes you think how much of a nightmare it is over here. :(
