Met de GVB-bus onderweg
Have you ever ridden on a GVB bus in the past? To work, with the football club, to the swimming pool or on a school trip? Or were you a driver on these buses yourself or did you do other work for this company? Then this book full of memories will certainly appeal to you.
In his younger years, the Amsterdam native Wim Vink came into contact with the GVB at an early age, through the bus rides from the Haarlemmermeer station, where both his grandparents lived nearby, to the parental home in the Kolenkitbuurt in Bos en Lommer.
He discovered early on that the GVB buses (and also the trams) had numbers and that these were arranged in logical series. In his teenage years in the sixties, he also started taking photographs.
Now, many years later, he reviewed his collection and got the idea to compile a photo book about the GVB buses, as a follow-up to previous publications about other bus companies. Together with Frank van den Boogert and Jan van der Stelt and certainly also thanks to the willingness of fellow hobbyists, this book was created.
It contains a limited number of photos from the period before the Second World War, because the emphasis is on the period after that, up to and including 2020. Subsequently, some photos are included of former GVB buses at companies to which they were later sold. And you will also find photos of buses that have been preserved and now keep the past alive as museum buses.
