Congratulations on this post!!!
The last picture (Expreso Trejos) is from Colombia, not Venezuela.
JEO, Bogota
Great pix.
A couple of errors:
The bus bearing registration number 253 KTA isn't Venezuelan; it's a 1950s Bristol in the livery of an English West country operator, Royal Blue
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Blue_Coach_Services). For some reason a Venezuelan travel blog seems to have used the image, hence, presumably, its inclusion here.
The monochrome image just above the really wacky Jamundi, Colombia image does seem to be from Venezuela (the destination boards are in Spanish, not Portuguese).
For anyone interested, the 'Contraband Love' bus is based on a '40s - '50s Commer truck.
Thank you Andy, wonderful info, article updated
I visit the site for years! Congratulations!
And ... I am Brazilian, I know quite my country. About 20 years ago I do not see no sign of Mercedes-Benz O321H. That picture is a car collector's show. Not sure if there is a law that regulates the exchange of bus time to time, but the fleet is no longer profitable to from the 6th year. Thus, theoretically, there is a return.
Today, the vast majority of coaches are air-conditioned; and urban, younger, more comfort. Even in the inner cities.
When we see older buses, are on average between 1980 - 2000 .... And are private bus, or shell companies or "hinterlands" of Brazil, there is still enough poverty and difficulties in almost everything.
