21 june 2015 - 21.06.2015 - ultimate end of the Ikarus era in Sofia bus transport. Ikarus 280 was the only model that operated in the city for such a long time and in such huge quntities. Between 1974 and 1988 more than 1000 buses from the model were imported to the Bulgarian capital. It is the bus thanks to which Sofia grew and developed through the years, the bus which transported millions of citizens to their homes, schools and working places. The Ikarus golden era was in the 80`s and the beginning of the 90`s when almost all bus lines in Sofia were hauled by the Ikarus 280. The legendary bus was decommissioned tacitly, without anyone even notice. There was no solemnity, no parades or fireworks, not even a single sign to show that this is the last day in service of a bus, which has loyally served the city for 41 years.

30 may 2015 - All Souls` Day is a day of prayer for the dead. It is typical for the Eastern Orthodox Church and occurs several times during the year. In Bulgaria there are usually 4 All Souls` Days and they all fall on Saturday. According to the tradition, on this day people go to the graves of their deceased relatives, pour them with wine, put flowers and light candles. Then they give away boiled wheat to other people for the peace of their relative`s soul. Priests make prayers for the departed. In order to ensure normal transportation to and from the cemeteries in Sofia on All Souls` Day, the public transport company launches 6 additional bus and 2 additional tram lines. The additional lines are marked with -A to differ them from the regular lines with the same number and they serve only a part of the regular line`s route which goes near a cemetery. In this case 79 and 79A serve the Central Sofia Cemetery. On the picture: 2427 on line 79 meets 2216 on line 79A on Iliyantsi blvd. Line 79A goes only to Iliyantsi blvd. while regular 79 continues to Voenna rampa industrial zone. Four days later 2216 was decommissioned and currently awaits to be dismantled and cut.
