The Chemin de Fer Fribourgeois, Gruyère - Fribourg - Morat (GFM) is a 1942 merger of two standard gauge and one gauge railways running mainly within the Swiss canton of Fribourg/Freiburg. The company also operates numerous regional buses in the same area. After merger with Fribourg city transport, the company was renamed Transports publics fribourgeois SA (Freiburgische Verkehrsbetriebe AG) (TPF). ==History== The main line of the narrow gauge network runs from Palézieux, on the SBB main line from Bern to Lausanne, via Châtel-St-Denis and Bulle to Montbovon and has a total length of 44.2 km. The short Bulle - Broc branch, which was opened for traffic in 1912, leaves the main line just before La Tour-de-Trême station and serves the nearby Nestlé chocolate factory, as well as the village of Broc. The system was opened in stages, that from Châtel-St-Denis to Palézieux (CP) in 1901, then over the following three years by the lines which made up the Chemins de fer électriques de la Gruyère (CEG), originally named CBM, those from Chatel-St-Denis to Vuadens, Vaudens to Bulle, Bulle to La Tour-de-Trême and from La Tour-de-Trême to Montbovon. From 20 December 1907 the CP was absorbed into CEG, the branch line to Broc being added in 1912. Soon the company extended its activity into the bus sector and built up a large network. From 1 January 1942, and with the addition of two standard gauge lines, Bulle - Romont and Fribourg - Murten - Ins, they formed the Chemins de fer Fribourgeois, Gruyère - Fribourg - Morat (GFM). Bulle is the centre of operations with depot, workshops and, within its modern station, the connection between the metre and standard gauge lines as well as many bus lines. Transfer to the trains of the Montreux-Oberland Bernois takes place in Montbovon, and until 1969, Châtel-St-Denis was also reached by a line of the CEV from Vevey. In 2000 the company was renamed Transports publics fribourgeois SA (Freiburgische Verkehrsbetriebe AG) and the city of Fribourg motor bus and trolley bus lines were integrated. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Chemins de fer Fribourgeois Gruyère-Fribourg-Morat」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
