The Bus of my childhood. Every day to school. It is impossible to forget how I was entering its saloon from frozen street. It was very warm there and always smelled gas inside.
The saloon had a comfortable seat almost behind driver's back from where I could observe the road. What can be better for a little boy?
p.s. There's a sweet folk nickname for this bus: "Ñкотовоз" (cattle box)
The streets of Vilnius, Lithuania with ghost buses that blend right into their surroundings. Lithuanian artist Liudas Parulskis collaborated to print full-scale scenes from the city onto public trolleybuses.
I've watched a few of Akira Kurosawa's post WW2 Japan police procedurals like "High and Low" and "Stray Dog" as well as "I Live in Fear". The images of poverty and ruin are unsettling; very different from the glitz and glamor of Tokyo rebuilt today.
Interesting pic of the Tilt Test In UK for assessment of the weight distribution. In order to pass the test, the vehicle must not tip over before a specified angle of tilt is reached by the table.
