22 września 2021 - KTEL Naxos #12 passes by the sand dunes of Plaka beach. With a length of 4 km and fine sand this is perhaps the best beach on the island. The route from Chora to Plaka is the most frequent, served every 30 minutes during the summer. Although routes are formally numbered, buses generally don`t display route number or destination, except for the few with electronic displays.

Ikarus 280.59 #2412
23 października 2019 - Recently restored 2412 became the center point in a propaganda event organized by the Ministry of Regional Development and Public Works, which was intended to convince the public how much the Ministry`s work has changed Bulgaria with the help of EU funds. While officials told vivid and heartfelt stories of success, 3D mapping projections showcased photographs of projects financed by the EU on the body of the Ikarus. The event culminated in an attractive 6-minute video. The bus itself was wrapped in white vinyl to make the projections more visible. Hopefully the wrap won`t damage the brand new paint.

Ikarus 280.04 #2419
21 czerwca 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.

29 kwietnia 2015 - Sofia, Levski depot. After the delivery of the 50 new Skoda 27Tr, a lot of Ikarus 280 trolleybuses were decommissioned. Some of them were dismantled and cutted for scrap right after their last day in service. But others, 43 units to be precise, are stored in the former Levski depot where they are rusting for a year now. Until 2005 Levski was a functioning depot, now it is used as a repair base, where trolleybuses are sent for overhauls (the quality of which is tragical). Also, decommissioned trolleybuses are sent there for dismantling and cutting. 35 Ikarus trolleybuses, 16 of which are modernised, are still in service on lines 1, 6, 7 and 9.

Ikarus 280.04 #2216
30 maja 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.

6 marca 2015 - Sofia, Levski depot. After the delivery of the 50 new Skoda 27Tr, a lot of Ikarus 280 trolleybuses were decommissioned. Some of them were dismantled and cutted for scrap right after their last day in service. But others, 43 units to be precise, are stored in the former Levski depot where they are rusting for a year now. Until 2005 Levski was a functioning depot, now it is used as a repair base, where trolleybuses are sent for overhauls (the quality of which is tragical). Also, decommissioned trolleybuses are sent there for dismantling and cutting. The trolleybus transport company in Pernik was interested in buying some of the 43 withdrawn Ikarus trolleybuses, since their ZiU and DAC-Chavdar are in a desparate state of disrepair. Some weeks ago, however, trolleybuses in Pernik ceased to operate after CEZ electro cutted off the electricity in the network due to unpaid debts. Since the trolleybus transport company in Pernik is virtually in a state of bankruptcy, it seems that no one will buy the decommissioned units and 43 Ikarus trolleybuses in good condition will be cut for scrap. 35 Ikarus trolleybuses, 16 of which are modernised, are still in service on lines 1, 6, 7 and 9.
