Alterna-4216 - test drive of a rare bus from the 90s
Soviet buses did not differ in variety, especially in the late 80s. The first thing that comes to mind about them is overcrowding. Finding a seat was a joy, unclouded even by a hard worker crouching next to him with an eternal fumes "exhaust". Yes, and standing up, it was not always possible to fit into a Soviet bus. This is especially true for LAZ-695. Created once for small towns and suburban routes, this bus also settled in megacities. Sometimes it seemed that they were specially allowed on busy flights in order to mock the passengers living at stops. It’s very, you know, a shame when instead of a warm salon you stay on the street. Although, those who were distinguished by great physical strength could take the transport by storm, jumping into the cabin with acceleration.


It just seems that in Russia in the early 90s no one produced new buses. They worked on them, although production volumes decreased by dozens, or even hundreds of times. And in these harsh conditions, Alterna-4216 was born - the personification of the "folk" 90s. With their small salaries, broken roads and other "pleasures". At first glance, the bus turned out to be ugly, but it was cheap and passable. What else do you need for a station wagon? Various engines and gearboxes can be installed on this chassis. The author of the channel "Ivan Zenkevich PRO Cars" will tell about the unique model.
