Such version was engineered for the short routes among the close towns, but in USSR such buses worked on city routes too: operators took every bus, which they could get, because it was rather difficult to get enough number of new buses.
It seems that all cities from Eastern Europe had similiar problems! Was Ikarus 280 first popular articulated bus in Soviet Republik?
Ikaruses were the only articulated buses in USSR - 180 in 60s-70s and 280s up to nowadays: the new articulated LiAZes-6212 are too expensive for the most of Russian cities, and that's why we shall travel by the old Ikaruses, which are cared and restored in provinces, up to the 22nd century
But some operators (in Moscow province, Perm region and some others) in 90s-2000s bought large number of used vehicles from Europe, which now take the second place in the "rating" of articulated buses in Russia.These informations are all interesting. Were Ikarus 180 buses popular and were they used in large quantities?
In Moscow - in large. They were used in many cities, but there is too little data to know exact information...
