LAZ-697
Sign in to saveThe LAZ-697 “Tourist” was a Soviet two-axle, middle-class coach, which was produced in the Western Ukrainian city Lviv from 1959 to 1985. It was derived from the LAZ-695 during that model's development process. Because of that, both bus models are mechanically identical. The LAZ-697 was used for touristic purposes as well as for shorter intercity trips, being designed for greater comfort than the LAZ-695. It was taken out of production in 1985, in favor of the upper-class coach LAZ-699.
