The Evening Rush-Hour in Porto as in the Summer heat intending passengers have to keep to the narrow pavement as the buses taking them home thud their way passed over the cobbles down beside the railway station.

Typical for Portugal are the indoor bus stations. In the middle of a seemingly impossible street for buses you can find the entry and exit doors of a bus station that can hold up to 20 buses at the same time. Most legendary is Garagem Atlántico in Porto.
This photo was taken away in the Street of the Cativo, in the city of Oporto.
The bus of the left is a Volvo B10M-60, with bodywork Irmãos Mota Atomic MkII, of 10/1982, of the enterprise Auto Viação Feirense, of Lourosa.
The bus of the right side is a Volvo B58-60R, with bodywork Camo, of 10/1974, with front rebuilt for Irmãos Mota Atomic, was the nº 29 of the enterprise Auto Viação Sandinense and later it passed the nº 4406 when the enterprise was sold to the Alsa Spanish enterprise. In present it does not exist already that it was knocked down in the scrap metal. It had capacity for 73 passengers.
I miss the times when it was driving it, in spite of the age it was a bus that was walking very well, it was giving taste to drive it.
Thanks for you comment Miguel, it's nice that not only do you know a lot about these old buses you actually knew and drove them.
Hello Miguel
Do you remember what part of the front of Sandinense 29 was rebuilt by Mota? It seems an almost Camo original front...
Regards,
João, the headlight module was replaced. Camo buses used to have smaller round headlights.
