itz me, I was also disappointed at first for having to ride a minibus instead of the thulo bus. Furthermore, I had to wait for about a year before my first ride on it. After the first ride though, I felt happier with the minibus. I think only the first couple of windows could be opened, and also only the first few rows of seats were padded. Pahelo bus bhaneko chahi 1875 ho? I think ours was green (Sanepa/Kupondole area), bus # 1974. For the Mangalbazaar area, there used to be a rather luxurious looking minibus, but looked extremely packed with the number of students. I think that bus was not used after 1986. Too bad, I happed to join the school right after the classic old green bus was taken out of service.
