August Break: Vintage Bus On August 16, 2013August 11, 2013 By StevenIn Uncategorized I’m on an August Break from my regular blogging schedule. Here’s today’s picture. I see this vintage bus around town sometimes. I thought at first that it was used exclusively as a schoolbus, but those are labelled differently. Now, I’m not so sure. What do you think this bus is used for? Share this:TweetMoreEmailPrintShare on TumblrLike this:Like Loading... Related
It belongs to a guy who runs a Post-museum and who uses this thing as school bus and also rents it out: http://www.mittelbayerische.de/nachrichten/oberpfalz-bayern/artikel/der-postbusfahrer-und-sein-museum/855704/der-postbusfahrer-und-sein-museum.html LikeLike August 16, 2013 at 10:13 am
Probably says so in the article, but my German’s a bit rusty. It doesn’t look that old. LikeLike August 16, 2013 at 10:17 pm
No, the bus is not that old. Mercedes introduced the O307 in 1970. But even forty years ist still quite old for a bus. LikeLike August 25, 2013 at 11:47 am

I should’ve read the article more carefully – the guy driving the bus became a pensioner after working for 40 years in 1999 (not the bus – sorry)! LikeLike August 25, 2013 at 1:26 pm
