Many know my more recent genre Buses and Girls photography as those earlier buses I really like have all gone so now I enjoy my bus hobby more for the photography. As well as being an artist I owned a small transport business before I retired but today I have a little job too driving a minibus dong a school run to Wolverhampton in the afternoon and occasionally other jobs. It gets me out and about and satisfies my childhood ambition to drive a bus.

Hot Evening Rush-Hour in Lisbon
It has felt as hot as it looks here in Lisbon this weekend in Britain. Here is a study of then modern and more traditional minibuses in 1984.
The Toyota Minicoaster to the right was pretty common for many years. Numerous sporting clubs and smaller community groups owned one. But the one on the left - a Mercedes O319 with local bodywork - is completely new to me. It is owned by the air force, as also is indicated by the license plate, but I never knew this bus type made it to Portugal.
