12 September 2008 - Burgas, Bulgaria. The only Neoplan N216 of "BurgasBus" is seen just getting back from Primorsko. As you can see, the bus is not "wearing" that ridiculous advertisement it had on itself several months ago and it's not on the line Burgas-Bulgarovo-Burgas, where it spent all of its time in service for nearly a year.
6 August 2008 - Bulgaria, Ahtopol, near bus station. I couldn't find information about the operator, so I put this vehicle into a ? category. Balkanton I need your help! ;)
25 Juli 2008 - Burgas, Bulgaria. A Neoplan N4021 on the line Burgas-Ravda-Nesebar is captured while leaving the bus station near the Port of Burgas. These are the only low-floor buses in Burgas that I like and don't perceive as coffins. So, when they left the urban lines in April, 2007, I was very angry at BurgasBus and I still am.
23 Juli 2008 - Burgas, Bulgaria. Another beautiful ancient Neoplan is seen on the Bulair Boulevard just leaving the bus station near the Port of Burgas and heading to Sozopol.
17 Juli 2008 - Burgas, Bulgaria. A terrible coffin on the line Burgas-Ravda-Nesebar. I'm always happy to see that there is at least one coffin that isn't driving on the urban lines, especially on 211, which I use to use. Let the tourists bite the dust ]:)
10 Juli 2008 - Sofia, Kliment Ohridski Blvd. One of all three Citos from Graz that came earlier this year to Sofia. It runs on suburban tourist lines towards Vitosha mountain.
14 Juli 2008 - Burgas, Bulgaria. Now here is a photo of the coffin from the outside. The "bus" is seen on the line number 12, driving on the Struga Boulevard.
12 Juli 2008 - Burgas, Bulgaria. The one and only O405G of "Burgasvolan" already in service. You see that there are two signs with a number of the line. That's because the lines number 7 and 25 become one line in the weekends.
11 Juli 2008 - Burgas. Bulgaria. Inside a MAN NG coffin on the third stop of the line 211. This is the one with the best looking interior from all the pieces in Burgas. BTW, take a look at the cabin - it's made of parts from Chavdar 141.
2 Juli 2008 - Burgas, Bulgaria. It's not fair - this Mercedes was one of the best looking buses of "Burgasvolan" and they put an advertisement on it, while other buses sneak around with rust and not that satisfying appearance!
2 Juli 2008 - Burgas, Bulgaria. A rare sight - a MAN SG 242 on the line Burgas-Ravda-Nesebar. These buses are not purposed for intercity lines. They can be seen mostly on the line number 211 as well as on the lines 12/12a and sometimes on number 4. This particular bus should be awarded "the bus to change the biggest number of advertisements for a nick of time". This one is the fifth in its list since 2004. Or maybe sixth if we count the German one it got here with. It's important that I mention that the bus had a crash last year, so that's why the front bumper looks so strange.
22 Juni 2008 - Burgas, Bulgaria. MAN Lion's Top Coach parked on Maria Luiza Street. It probably spends its time out of service here. Operators, that don't possess garages for their vehicles oftenly leave the buses near the driver's home.
About Duni: it's a holiday settlement. I don't know wether it should be written in the database as a separate city or as a part of Sozopol.
7 Juni 2008 - Burgas, Bulgaria. The advertisement thi bus had, turned out to be very persistent. And, for those, who wanna know, the line number 18 goes to the villages named Marinka and Tvarditza.
Februar 2008 - Burgas, Bulgaria. And here is the same Neoplan last Winter. I believe that the recycle bin in the left symbolises the place this advertisement should go. The advertisements of "Yavlena" are so badly executed technically that if a rain falls down, they look like if they had been put on the buses about ten years ago. And that's not the only example. But now the situation is better - the new advertisements of "Yavlena" are much more reliable and can last longer.
3 Juni 2008 - Бургас, България. Прекрасен 30-годишен Неоплан по линията Бургас-Р. Гора, минаващ по моста, който свързва улиците "Иван Вазов" и "Мария Луиза" с ул. "Индустриална" и булевард, чието име не зная.
2 Juni 2008 - Burgas, Bulgaria; San Stefano Street. This Neoplan and his brother drive on the line number 30 and other near village lines since April, 2007. This is one of the worst mistakes ever done by "BurgasBus". Not only did they take away two of the best articulated buses from the city lines, but the operator took care both of the Neoplans get amortisated for just a year. Now the buses are in terrible condition (just like most of the other buses that drive on the village lines) - you can hear the rattling even from outside the vehicles and when you get in, you have the feeling that the ceiling is going to fall. The buses are also in a bad cosmetical condition.
25 Mai 2008 - Burgas, Bulgaria. An MB Travego bus on the line Sofia - Stara Zagora - Burgas and probably the reverse. I guess in the moment I was taking the picture it was just heading to Stara Zagora. In Burgas, there seem to be so many operators that I hardly notice them if they don't have buses running on city lines. Actually, new coaches are too boring for me and since "BurgasBus", for instance, don't have enough money to purchase them, I don't care who does.
10 Mai 2008 - Burgas, Bulgaria. This MAN bus likes it dirty :] The photo is taken in front of the garage of another transport operator in Burgas - "Comfort". You can even see an Isuzu, property of the operator. But let's talk more about the MAN bus! The line 101 is a line available in the mornings and the afternoons in the weekdays (10 may wasn't part of a weekend for us in Bulgaria, so the line had to be available on that Saturday. Why? It's a long story!). The interesting about this line is that it's a one-way line, so when the buses finish the route, they have to get back empty to the first stop, crossing the half city. And also in the afternoon the route is in reverse in comparison with in the morning. I mean in the mornings the first stop is in the district of Izgrev and that same stop becomes a last stop later in the afternoons. I hope you got me right!
11 Mai 2008 - Burgas, Bulgaria. Yesterday, I showed you the best looking MAN bus in Burgas for me. Today I'm presenting you the ugliest one. It looks like it was built for India or other poor Asian countries. I suppose the suspension is like the one used for the trucks and there are no airbags. This particular model is completely unknown for me, so if somebody knows its name, please, edit the info about the vehicle.
P.S. The bus line is Kameno-Burgas-Kameno.
30 April 2008 - Burgas, Bulgaria. A beautiful (I've never thought that someday I'm gonna say such thing) MAN coach, that I've noticed recently, is heading to Sozopol, because as you can figure out it's going on the line Burgas-Sozopol. It's just getting out of Ivan Vazov Street and is going on a short bridge which relates Ivan Vazov Street and Industrialna Street.
30 April 2008 - Sofia, Dragan Tsankov Blvd. An old Mercedes is running along the new track of Sofia Underground (still in construction). This track was originally planned for a high-speed tram in the 80s, while the underground was planned to run under Tsarigradsko Shose Blvd. But in the 90s they decided to use the high-speed-tram track for the underground.
