Truck-trailer buses were used on the 1,500 km (900 mile) 20-hour trip on the straight WWII Stuart Highway between Alice Springs in Central Australia and Darwin - the port city in Northern Australia, between 1946 and around 1964, when they were replaced by air-conditioned Greyhound buses. Modern Greyhounds still run between Adelaide? Alice Springs and Darwin - 48 hours (Kym in Darwin)

Got the chance to ride these during the Philippine bus crisis of the early 90s. They had 3 personnel on board namely the driver and the blindside signaller aboard the head and the ticket guy aboard the trailer . They disappeared in less than a year. Must have been costly. The suspension was awful but were an awesome sight for a bus enthusiast.

The "Ukrainian" trailer bus (actually Soviet, and it was used in *many* of the former Soviet republics after 1991!) is not an urban trransit bus but a specialised airport bus shuttling passengers between aircraft and the airport building. Designnated APPA-4, it was built in large numbers by Civil Aviation Factory No.85 in Riga and the tractor unit was either a ZiL-130V1 conventional or, more rarely, a KAZ-608 Kolkhida cabover.

When cars became king they made a law that the door had to be next to the driver to eliminate the conductor but there is nothing to stop an electric prime mover and the new double deck Trailerbus.

Reminds me of another video I watched recently about long distance trailer buses operating in Iraq by a company called Nairn. These were long distance intercity routes across the desert and the buses were air-conditioned. This was in the 1920s-30s IIRC.

My guess why they would be used this setup was that you could hook up a different tractor if you had an engine problem. But the cons seem to out weigh the Pro now a days.

Cuba maybe the only country to still run trailer buses or 'Camel' buses in their perspective, but I'm sure some other countries still has these on the road. Philippines used to have 2 trailer buses since the 80s, but sadly they were short-lived into the 90s because of their length and the streets were too narrow to pass.
