Beirut Bus Depot

The Lebanese are not really into maintaining things. They rather seem to use something until it breaks down, and then replace it. No maintenance necessary. And so somewhere in town there is this huge lot with what most be over a 150 dilapidated buses, some trains, and a lot of railroad. I don’t know whether the place serves as a spare part depot, or whether they don’t have any other way of disposing of them permanently. The neighborhood street dogs really seem to enjoy the place though; there must have been tens of them. They came out of all the buses as I walked by. They just barked, didn’t do anything.
