The mayor went to Minsk and got this bus

摘要

The presence of Belarus manufacturer BKM — the more digestible abbreviation of full name Belkommunmash — with a right-hand-drive 12m electric bus for Nottingham was a vivid example of what can happen when politicians develop an interest in buses. Nottingham is twinned with the Belarus capital, Minsk, and two years ago the then Nottingham mayor, Mike Edwards, attended his twin city's 950th anniversary celebrations around the same time as his own city was about to put 13 BYE) battery electric buses on the road.
