After Trapani, I went to the nearby town of Marsala. Here the service is run by TPL (SMA Municipal Service Trucking), a company not known much for historic, but currently has interesting cars. Very beautiful are the lines carrying the various buses which, being very long (tens of kilometers), arriving in the nearby villages through places that are very characteristic, like the famous Sicilian salt.
All lines depart from the bus station sita a Piazza del Popolo, non molto lontana dalla piccola stazione FS (solo due binari non elettrificati). Il parco mezzi è più piccolo rispetto a Trapani ma anche qui le sorprese non sono mancate, anche se ci sono stato purtroppo solo nel tardo pomeriggio a causa del poco tempo a disposizione, ma in un futuro (spero prossimo) ci tornerò per gustarmi tutte le vetture durante l'orario scolastico. Anche a Marsala sono arrivati molti Menarini 201/1 LU ex ATC Bologna, utilizzati perlopiù durante le scuole, ma qualche volta rimangono in giro anche fino a sera inoltrata. Di altri mezzi lunghi troviamo anche un'Iveco 480.10 Turbocity del 1991 e, vedendo da una foto presa online, anche qualche Inbus U210FT, nello stesso stile di quelli che circolano Trapani. In addition to this, circulating means very little, used during business hours "dead", but also as strengthening the school.

Menarini 201 / 1 LU ex ATC BOLOGNA n.5070
Another pleasant surprise has been that of Sicily. Despite the time (about 17) came to the bus, ready to go, this Menarini 201 / 1 ATC Bologna former LU coach 5070 (as can be seen on the rear bumper). This is the third former ATC 201 Menarini I see in Sicily, in addition to the cars former ATC 5075 and 5077 in Trapani. The driver of the 5070 (I thank him publicly for the great helpfulness and courtesy), told me that in Sicily came about a dozen former ATC 201, and Marsala, during the school day, they run about 6-7. The livery (even if very dirty) remained as such in the bolognese. The interiors have remained unchanged, including the validator. Only the windows were all blocked (including half open). This year celebrates the beauty of 30 years, but new mechanics seem ready to grind a lot more miles.
AUTODROMO POLLICINO
When the bus arrived in Marsala, the first bus that arrived This is Autodromo Thumb purchased in 1999. Towards the late afternoon is not difficult to meet the various Tom Thumb and other vans targati Cacciamali. It is said that there are several in Marsala Thumb former ATC Bologna, but in that short time that I was not in the bus I saw.
BMB 231 C VIVACITY
furgoneria Despite the varied, including Tom Thumb and various Cacciamali, Marsala are also minibus BredaMenarini. This should be one of the last buses arrived at the SMA., Considering that he arrived in 2008. Around 18 turned on Line 1 and presumably has turned on this line from 20:55 am until the last race. Despite the hour, the bus has left quite full, with almost all seats occupied.
