Omnibus Now with a Driver: Bus Park Gifts New Art Object to Residents and Guests of Baranovichi

Recently, a 3D sculpture of a bus driver appeared at the omnibus located at the entrance of the bus depot, which can be considered a predecessor to the modern bus—a large multi-passenger cart drawn by horses typical of the second half of the 19th century.

A full-size replica of the omnibus adorned the bus park territory three years ago. Just like the nearby carriage with a mounted horse, and other decorative small architectural forms were created by company workers. The idea of the driver was brought to life by OOO "Corporation Decoration," an organization with many well-known art objects and 3D figures both in Baranovichi and other regions of Belarus.

"To the city of Baranovichi, last year was truly special: our city was honored with the honorary title 'City of Labor Glory 1941–1945.' We already have art objects dedicated to people of various professions who developed our city through their labor, so we also decided to create a sculpture of an old public transport driver—said the head specialist on ideological work at the bar bus park of Baranovichi, Veronika Kostuk. — For us this is not simply decoration: above all, it is a gift to our native city and a tribute to drivers, bus park employees, and all hardworking people. We also wanted to bring back a piece of history. After all, it was with the omnibus that the story of urban public transport began, so here everything turned out symbolic: there is the city's history, the transport history, and most importantly, respect for the profession of drivers. We wanted to preserve this connection across time and show where everything began."

The bus park does not plan to stop: the enterprise still has many more ideas for site improvement.
