16 august 2007 - Burgas, Bulgaria. Chavdar 141, registered as A 2342 BP is taking a rest on the last stop of the lines 211, 4 & 13 in "Izgrev". It's running on 211 at that moment. The other last stop of 211 is in "Meden Rudnik".

3 september 2009 - Burgas, Bulgaria. A piece of Bulgarian history right on the Nikola Petkov Boulevard. This is the one and only prototype of Chavdar 141. It was built in 1993, then the bus was tested in Sofia and Burgas (and maybe somewhere else I don't know). Most of its life this specimen spent in the factory in Botevgrad until in 2004 it was purchased by "BurgasBus" and added to the other Chavdar 141 buses. Earlier this year it got busted (not for the first time since coming here) and spent a few months "offline". After four terrible advertisements it had on itself throughout the last years the bus was repainted and now it's once again orange with the sole difference that originally the bumpers and the doors were white.

31 december 2011 - Burgas, Bulgaria. Me and another 8 public transportation fans from Burgas rented the bus for a short holiday trip to Sozopol, because that might have been the last New Year for it to celebrate. This is why the table says: "Casual transportation" (at least literally. I don't know if this is the right way to put it on English, but even on Bulgarian I can't figure out how a transportation can be casual). I had to make another frontal photo in Sozopol, but forgot :( If you don't count the paint that has began to blister above the windows, the exterior of the vehicle looks quite good.

10 august 2007 - Burgas, Bulgaria. This is my favorite bus. I used to call it "The Indian" due to the tuning at the front. Well, a few days ago they put a new commercial on the bus and the tuning is already gone. So this photo represents the Indian a month before being "deindianised"

30 october 2007 - Burgas, Bulgaria. The garage of "Burgasbus" operator. This is the Chavdar 141, which we called "The Indian". Its bumper has been painted in white so you can clearly see how bad it is.

17 june 2009 - Burgas, Bulgaria. IT IS ALIIIVE! I thought my favorite bus was scrapped, but, luckily for me, BurgasBus had decided to repair it no matter how bad its condition was last Summer. It could've been repaired a lot better, but I'm happy even because the Indian wasn't scrapped.

19 october 2011 - Чавдарът А9660ВН( Индианеца) по линия 12а до спирката на "МБАЛ-Бургас". Това е един от любимите ми автобуси, чието движение към днешна дата е цяло чудо. Возилото рядко се появява по линия различна от 121 и 211.

17 november 2012 - As I already mentioned when I posted the previous photo, me and a few another public transportation enthusiasts rented the bus for a sort of a farewell trip to Sozopol. Just as we were about to enter Sozopol, we asked the driver (who also happens to like his bus and hates the fact that it's going to be scrapped) to stop, so we can take a picture of it outside the town.

17 november 2012 - Sozopol, Bulgaria. Since in a few weeks this bus is going to be scrapped, me and a few other public transportation enthusiasts rented it for a trip to Sozopol. It is favorite for many of us and is one of the two last surviving representatives of Chavdar 141 in Burgas (we rented the other one last year, because this one wasn't available at the time due to some technical problems it had). 2013 will mark the beginning an entirely new age for public transportation in Burgas as not only will there be new routes that will take the place of the current ones, but the bus fleet will be almost entirely renewed with about 70 Solaris Urbino buses. I wish thay would preserve one Chavdar 141 or 120 for the future generations, but, unfortunately, that's not gonna happen :(

17 november 2012 - Sozopol, Bulgaria. A picture of the interior of the bus. The upholstery of the seats is the original one, but the planes below the windows aren't, as the original ones were upholstered in brown. They were removed when the bus came through a maximum overhaul in 2008-2009 because they had swollen, but the newer ones not only look awful, but they also swole even faster. Some of the ceiling planes in section B were also replaced even though you can't notice it on this photo. Other than that, everything else is either original or taken from another Chavdar 120/141.

17 november 2012 - Burgas, Bulgaria. This is the first and the last time any of the public transportation fans in Burgas saw this bus on Bus Station South (only buses and coaches for interurban routes can be seen there with the only exception being line number 15 which may be urban, but you don't get to see an articulated bus on it everyday). The picture was taken just before we left for Sozopol.

5 august 2009 - Burgas, Bulgaria. A Chavdar 141 bus on the line number 4 riding across the Maria Luiza Boulevard. This line certainly doesn't need articulated buses - look at how many passengers there are inside :] Anyway, it was one course only - it later got back on 211, where most of the articulated buses usually run.
