"Old Buses of Cyprus"
Very nice pictures of the old buses, the means of transport of another era.
Once
upon a time when private cars were a luxury item, the bus was the main
means of transport connecting both the villages and the suburbs with
urban centres.
With the passing of time and the huge increase in
private vehicles, the old bus has slowly been sidelined and the few
people who use public transport use the new modern and upgraded buses.
The
old bus passed into oblivion. However, the few old buses that were
saved from rust, disintegration and complete immobility are mainly used
for wedding ceremonies and by businesses in the tourism sector.
The
set comprises of 3 separate stamps, a MiniSheet, Post Office Official
FDC (one of the 3 stamps and another for the mini-sheet.
Available

of both kinds and sets of 3 Full Sheets (stamps) in Mint/CTO - subject
