I once squished an overwieght 50-year old couple into my tiny little C1 together with my baby and their pram/car seat when I saw them waiting at the bus stop in my village in the blistering heat because I’d lived there 8 months and had never seen a bus.
Welcome to Cyprus which nothing works properly
What about in Paphos when the bus is full & they just leave you there lol And all the etiquette is out- doesn’t matter who got to stop first or lining up, if there’s a space & the bus actually stops it’s a battle royal for the door!
Well call a taxi
Got to makarion stadium at 5:50 to catch the 6pm bus up to the country side, the bus became full and the next one was at 9pm🙂
I’m pretty sure the public bus services in Cyprus were all cancelled in the 80s and those buses who run around today are driven by deranged hobbyists belonging to a cult worshipping a god whose name cannot be pronounced by a human tongue and everybody is too scared to tell them to stop.
The bus system in Cy has literally caused me some form of ptsd istg
Really? When we went to Larnaka it worked really well, we got around the whole city with ease
waiting for what ?
Real life experience, Strovilia. The 712 bus doesn’t actually go into Strovilia. They corrected it on the map after my intervention but I see now that the list of bus stops is still wrong. http://www.osea.com.cy/index.php?link=routedetails.php&serial=18 Three years ago, there was a brand new bus stop where the bus number was signposted and that’s where I waited but in reality the bus stops at the corner of the Vrysoulles/Strovilia road fork some 20 meters further. I ran after the bus when I realised that but the idiot bus driver did not stop. Fortunately some good people are living over there so I could continue my ride with hitchhiking and was faster at my destination than planned. Actually we overtook the bus.
its not even funny at this point man they keep changing routes and timetables without notice
I think this is more problem for locals rather then for tourists. If you want cleaner or babysitter sometimes you need to drive the person. The reason is they don’t have a transport to get to your place. Imagine you are so poor you can not afford to have a job in Cyprus. That is a truth for a EU country and it brakes my heart
