1.
Occupation bus driver - it's a dream, if not all, then a lot of boys. Translate it into reality is not so difficult. It is difficult then to not give up on the dream. About the weather, passengers, complex route, heavy schedule, the difficulties of the profession - in our report from the bus driver international route Minsk - Moskva.My meet with the drivers at the starting point of many national routes - bus depot №2 in Minsk. Park is engaged in various kinds of transportation: urban, suburban, intercity, international and custom.
- Before the bus fleet engaged in international and interurban transportation. We went all over the Soviet Union and beyond. Riga, Kaunas, Warsaw, many other cities - begins to talk about the work of Oleg Solovey. - And with the closing of the 1st and 3rd bus fleets have given us more suburban and urban routes.
Taken here

Oleg Solovey - one of the bus drivers, born and raised in Minsk. After high school, he joined the army. Driving license helped get DOSAAF - they are in the army and then come in handy.
- Childhood dream was - to become a driver. From the army came to work somewhere you need - continues Oleg. - I Went here. First, it was the driver of urban public transport, then chose this route.
3
Time is painted on the route to the last detail, so drivers need to be in the park in advance. A set of standard events: reception at the box office ticket-registration sheet (in which each station controllers passenger terminals will be stamped on the number of tickets sold), check the controller driving licenses and issue waybill (it affixed remaining fuel), passing health checks. To all this the test of technical condition of the bus, warm interior, engine control optics. Then, still need to fill up early and come to the bus station. So once we go to the salon, Oleg includes first and sends a bus to travel out of the park.
4
Away from the park Anatoly Burlo - the second bus driver - provides a roadmap to the mechanics of CPR, which puts a mark on the health of the vehicle and checks the remaining marks. Only after that the bus can leave the park.
The fate of Anatoly is very similar to the fate of his partner. Also, after the school received a driver's license in DOSAAF also served in the army driver "Ural", also started work on a public city transport. Only now they were in different places.
5
The next stopping point is dressing. As long as we go on the streets of Minsk, we pay attention to the DVRs installed in the cabin.
- Bought and installed at their own expense. That is to say, deliberate waste of pocket for evidence. With double-sided recording, - says Anatoly. - Any on the road there.
6
Finally we come to the gas station. While Oleg opens tank Anatoly takes roadmap and sent to the operator of the filling station.
7
Basically, all the buses refuel "before a full tank." In our still had diesel fuel from the last trip, so it is poured into 150 liters.
- Tank here as much as 500 liters of fuel consumption - 27, 8 liters per 100 kilometers! - Says Oleg. Local, by the way, pour past the tank will not work - on each speaker installed camera.
8
In this set of preparatory procedure ends. It starts with passengers. The bus has to go round all three Minsk bus station and "collect" people. Upon arrival, each bus is one of the drivers in the control room, the other helps to put the bag in the luggage compartment and control the passengers.
9
- On this route we divide all the passengers into two types. The first - the ordinary people, the second - guest workers. With the second very often there are all sorts of problems - says Oleg need to control passengers. - Although each station and is the controller that checks the tickets, and does not run intoxicated people in the cabin, it often happens that sneaked alcohol into the bag sleeves. I then said: "Either stay here or leave alcohol».
From station to station the bus slowly filled with people.
10
At the bus station "Central" appears the same "problem" passenger. Just standing on their feet, begs the driver and controller to put it into the cabin. Whether conscious of our attention, whether, as in the past, following the rules of transportation, driver and controller steadfast. The passenger is to hand over the ticket.
11
At the bus station "Moscow" take away the last passengers. Of the 45 free seats in the bus are only 4. It's okay, everything is going according to plan. But the most unexpected moment a gust of wind rips the plastic part of the roof platform, which hits the bus, thus scaring everyone sitting inside passengers and almost getting into people who at that time put the bags in the luggage compartment.
12
- You never know what to fear. Well at least not in the box, and not the people, - says Oleg.
We are glad that everything worked out, and with a calm heart go to Russia. The next stopping point - the town of Borisov.
13
When we leave the city, finally there is free time to talk to drivers about the work.
- We are flying Minsk - Moscow once every five days, - says Anatoly. - The path is replaced every four hours. Supervise tachographs are special, that capture nearly all of the data: speed, travel time, mileage. Tachograph writes all the information on a special paper disc, which we call the "hockey».
14
- We have also installed GPS-transmitters. Put them back in 2010, it was a special order "Minsktrans." First of all they have installed on urban buses, then a bus to other posts, - continues the story of the driver. - He is not only transmits the location of transport, but also helps us to get information about the route. For example, the time lag from the schedule.
15
During the conversation the time passes quickly, and soon we find ourselves in Borisov.
No complications. Nothing much happens. Loading, unloading, departure. Curious is only one thing: the driver at the train station, as usual, asked to take a "parcel" to Moscow. The driver politely refused, and then later, in the cabin, explains that "it does not need».
16
We leave from Borisov. The driver of a microphone reports that the next stop is at 3, 5:00.
- Fortunately, it was not to fall into an accident, and faced with all sorts of special difficulties on the road. Once we go and see: burning car on the roadside and no one stops - all regret your fire extinguisher. We stopped, helped - continues the conversation, Anatoly. - The most important difficulties and had to have to cope with it snow and sleet.

Already approaching to the first terminal on the motorway M1 Brest - Moscow, we noticed that the weather has deteriorated sharply and the road turns to those "snow and icy conditions».
21
- Previously, so they say, Russia has two misfortunes - fools and roads, - responding to my question on Belarusian roads Anatoliy Viktorovich. - And now, to say that our roads are very different from Russian, I can not. Especially in the spring. For example, the toll roads. Money to pay more? And where "Posypayko" ?! I still do not traveled.
It starts drifting snow. Wet day, at night the asphalt covered with ice. The bus begins to skid. We note at the side of the flying truck.
22
- A large area of the bus - continues Anatoly, changing the subject. - Quick side wind, the level of grip minimum, that puts us. Generally, you have to be somewhere on the side of the road, wait until "Posypayko" will pass.
Suddenly the bus begins to "walk", and our interlocutor is concentrated on the road, stopping the conversation almost in mid-sentence. Oleg trying at this time to keep the bus on the roadway that side looks very difficult. The bus then tries to turn across the road, just diagonally out to the curb.

Our experiments allowed to see this. During the stop, we put on the roadbed mobile phone. Covering the road was so slippery that the phone is started immediately and without delay to slide from the slope, "slowing down" only on the bumps.
Waiting is a useless thing, and Oleg, calling someone on a cell phone, decided to continue the movement.
27
While moving at a safe speed, the time comes to give way to drivers. In practice, this occurs within a minute. Bus stops. Drivers of change "puck" in the tachometer, transplanted from place to place and go on a long journey. A little later we have ahead of snow-clearing equipment, and a new "Skipper" is trying to catch up on lagging behind schedule.

- When we were on the road, we do not struggle with sleep - though Oleg and laid to rest, after a shot of adrenaline to sleep do not want to. - Here and constant concentration and undue risk. If you are tired, you can wake up mate.
30
- The worst thing that can be on the road - this is such a weather and traffic - continues Oleg. - Once in Moscow went 6:00! But the schedule with that in mind, and is made up, so we're in Moscow early in the morning we drive, there should be no traffic jams.
Night Flight, and so all the passengers are asleep. Sometimes peace violate traffic police officers.
- On the road there are often traffic police officers. Check drunk and persons of Caucasian nationality, - says Oleg. - They enter Russia only on visas allowed.

interesting conversation and pass unnoticed, "Anatoly four o'clock." Drivers give way again. To Moscow remains a bit, and on the roads, even in the early morning is a lot of cars.
Turning to the free bus stops and traffic lights, we slowly drove up to the final point - the bus station "Shchelkovo". As a result, the backlog from the schedule of an hour.
- Upon arrival at the station we put a bus and go to the hotel to rest. There is complete silence and serious protection, - says Anatoly. - Silence, because it is the "holy of holies", no one is worried about all the rest.

When it was time to say goodbye to the drivers, we had mixed feelings. On the one hand, this work is very difficult and tedious. Over the past 13 hours the way there were many unpleasant details that badly battered nerves. But on the other hand, although it is heavy, but distinguished work, which does not sustain everyone's strength.
