The Behind the Scenes of the Colorful Guatemala Chicken Bus

Famous worldwide for its colorful display, Guatemala’s public intercity buses have a unique personality. They are known as chicken buses for the occasional bird that flies out of a passenger’s basket. They started as yellow school buses in the United States. They were later auctioned and sold to Guatemalan drivers who took them south and repurposed them for a new life on the rural roads of Guatemala.

This buses are reliable, except from the usual maintenance "set of tires, oil and brake jobs" those Navistar Diesel engines made by International are very cheap to maintain and built to last way over a million miles
