Exhibits  /  #183

During the autumn work party of 2020 the bus was moved to a new place on the site behind the museum centre.

Story of the exhibit

A tourist bus with an older-type body and a manually opened door. It was first used at the Tallinn Bus Depot, where it carried fleet number 3073. After it was withdrawn from route service in 1983, it was sold to the Värska state farm in Põlva district. In Värska the bus was used mainly for theatre trips and excursions until 1995, after which it stood unused in a garage. A fundraiser was organised on the Auto-Moto internet forum to bring the bus to the Old Tech Park; the 16,000 kroons needed were raised in one week. It previously carried the registration numbers 47-37 ЕАГ (at the Tallinn Bus Depot) and 7770 EAO (in Värska).
