In August 1904, an automobile course was set up with Orion buses from the Aktiengesellschaft für Automobilverkehr im Kanton Zug from Zug via Hinterburg to Menzingen; An automobile course in the Ägerital was offered, which on 1 November 1905 took over also the post courses. The routes were extended to Zug - Baar - Menzingen and to Zug - Unterägeri - Oberägeri. However, in 1913, the tram canceled the automobile courses because the Orion buses were not yet reliable and with their solid rubber tires on the unpaved road not comfortable - the streetcar promised a quality increase. An Orion bus was stored in the Swiss Museum of Transport, it was restored by the Orion Club and since 1 April 2000 it has been an exhibit in the Zuger Depot Technikgeschichte.
