Bus Village




Recently I've read an article about one horticultural association called Birches-6. It is settled not far from Moscow and actually its nickname is Avtobusniki!!! The owners are ex employers of the 18'th bus park. At the end of 1980's the government allocated land to every company. For the bus park employers it was hard to organize a construction of houses. So they bought written off buses. For those times they were cheap as chips. If we interpret those money to interpret modern, it will cost about 3000 roubles. The buses were cut up and people used its parts for a different purpose. There are greenhouses made from bus windows, telegas with bus wheels. Someone even has Russian bath in it! Some people continue living in their buses!In my opinion, it' amazing! I believe this idea of using old buses can be used for making some living area for homeless people st Kurskaya that we discussed at one of our sessions!
