The aim of the article is to compare the operational availability of the city buses. Two popular makes of buses were analysed in the function of time of use, during the six years of operation, in the Municipal Transport Company (MPK) in Lublin. A new division of operating time for the period of full operational usefulness and period of limited operational usefulness of vehicles was presented. It was shown that the average operational availability of the analysed buses differed significantly due to the vehicle's make and also due to the service life. The ANOVA analysis method was used to assess the significance of differences.
