TRAVEL:
USA. Manhattan tour bus.
A British-built open-top bus I saw in service in central Manhattan NYC. It was quite intriguing to realise that it's quite possible that I may have delivered this very vehicle to Southampton docks.
USA. New England.
My elder son lives in New England. Here are some of the buses which takes my grandsons to school.
Bulgaria.
My younger son works in Bulgaria. Knowing my interest in buses, he took this photo for me.
Argentine.
During a visit to South America in 2006, I saw this 'train' - based on a bus chassis - in the Patagonian Lake District of Argentina.
Buenos Aires.
Known as 'colectivos', the colourful urban buses in the Argentine caital city provide an excellent service.
Peru.
This is a long-distance coach I travelled in whilst visiting Peru in 2006. It's identical (but not as well maintained as) to some coaches I travelled on in Argentina.
Check out the Video page for more buses in Peru.
South American comfort.
Many long-distances coaches in South America offer a much higher degree of comfort than is the case in Europe. In addition to luxurious reclining seats - note that they are three (not four) abreast - aircraft-style food is served by on-board 'cabin' crew. On the lower deck, there are individual compartments which have fully-reclining seats.
