Buses in Trondheim in the 70-ies

This is one of the buses that I drove in Trondheim for Trondheim Sporvei - the street car company, which was later merged with Trondheim Bilruter AS to form Trondheim Trafikkselskap AS. It is a Büssing Prefekt 13 from 1967 # 354). Even to modern standards it is a good bus to drive with its air suspension, rear engine and semi automatic gearshift - although a little underpowered. Picutre taken on line 3 to Singsaker with the beautiful cathedral of Nidarosdomen in Trondheim in the background.

Same bus in colours. Picture taken on November 20 1968 by Ragnar Wold in Nonnegata i Trondheim. This was the very day the bus took over for the street car on line 3 to Singsaker, hence the flags.

Almost same type of bus operating as a museum bus for  Sporveismuseet i Oslo. (A-15835). Contrary to the Trondheim buses this vehicle has a fully automatic transmission. It is also a year newer with a modernized front.

 

When Trondheim Bilruter (TBR) and Trondheim Sporvei merged into Trondheim Trafikkselskap (TT) i 1972 two Scania CR111s were transferred to depot Dalsenget - that corresponded with the old Trondheim Sporvei. TBR had ca. 80 Scania CR. This picture from Trondheim was taken Jan Lindahl in 1976.
