"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 on Cyprus Stamps website in sets of 3 MINT mint stamps, USED/CTO, FDCs of both kinds and sets of 3 Full Sheets (stamps) in Mint/CTO - subject to availability.

Design - Artwork: Manolis Emmanouel, Lefkosia.
