409 is "cemetery line" - it goes past major city cemeteries on weekends, to help people (mostly elderly) visit graves. 800 is summer weekend linking subway system to the biggest national park near Warsaw for recreational purposes. Just because you dont know the reason, doesnt necessarily mean its a bad idea :).

About the 523 and this "major" station. This stop is actually important one, because it is a direct bus stop to Military University of Technology - WAT. When I went into this university, most of the passengers alighted there :). But I admit, this area looks like a it's in the middle of nowhere.
@@astaksantyna5780thats not true. Metro/subway lines have M in front of the number. In the original numbering scheme trams were supposed to have numbers from 1 to 49. The numbers from 50 to 99 were reserved for trolleybuses. Nowadays as there are no trolleybuses in Warsaw and there are no plans to reintroduce them numbers from 70 to 79 are used for replacement or special tram lines.
im amazed that someone was actually determined enough to research such a seemingly boring topic and made an actually interesting video about it, congrats

Fun fact: in the past 2xx were cemetery lines, functioning between 31.10-2.11. Later they became Cxx. 6xx were night lines before the introduction of the Nxx naming scheme :)
About L lines and tickets there. You can ride there on WTP tickets and validate them in the ticket validator in the L bus BUT ONLY TICKETS THAT ARE VALID FOR LONGER THAN 24 HOURS. So you can ride on it with one-day ticket, a three-day ticket, a weekend ticket, monthly ticket etc. From a person who rides an L bus practically everyday.
9:57 You're inserting the ticket the wrong way. I know it works both ways, but the ticket is asymmetric, and the expiry date is more readable if you insert the colored side first. Also, that colored part shows you roughly how far you need to put the ticket into the validator before it grabs it. It's not a random rectangle - its color has a feature as well: it corresponds to the type of the ticket, so you can differentiate tickets more easily without reading them. Different types/lengths of tickets will have significantly different colors, while the same length or type variants, but for a different zone or with a reduced fare, will have a slightly different hue. For example, all single line or limited transfer tickets are green, while 24h tickets are blue. Among 24h tickets, the full fare 1+2 zone ticket is the darkest tone of blue, while the reduced fare 1st zone ticket has the lightest shade of blue.
11:07 there are many buses that have combined stop-open door buttons. In case of those you only press once to request a stop and when the bus stops the door will open automatically.
That’s true, but the regular stop buttons are located next to the seats while the door stop buttons are located next to the doors. So, if you’re sitting down you’re gonna press the stop button that’s closest to you.
in general it's true, but unless u r especially interested in buses it may be difficult to recognize which bus you are on, so it's safer (to not skip a stop) to press both buttons if you need so. Also, the door open button can be pressed some time earlier from the stop on request (i think about 60 secs) so once hear an announcement of your next stop it seems reasonable to v soonly move to the doors and to press the button, then it should work as you expect.
fun fact, there are some ghost bus and tram stops used when the vehicle has to wait on the loop in a different place. They are numbered 70 and above. There is no sign for them on the ground but you can see them in openstreetmap
Cudowny film. Taki iceberg - od wiadomości podstawowych po wiedzę absolutnie nikomu niepotrzebną, ale dającą satysfakcję. Pamiętam czasy - to było na początku 21wieku, gdy przeprowadziłem się do Warszawy - gdy nie było wspólnego biletu w Warszawie na kolej, metro jeździło tylko do Ratusza i praktycznie cała komunikacja miejska stała na autobusach. A Autobusy stały w wielkich korkach. Do dziś śni mi się czasem koszmar, że muszę jechać linią 517 do Ursusa przez rozkopane Rondo Zesłańców :D To w tamtych czasach wprowadzono system przesiadek na Centralnym dla linii nocnych (które miały wtedy numery 6xx) - bardzo wygodne rozwiązanie, gdy się jest młodym i nietrzeźwym, więc ceniliśmy je sobie!
I think our ticketing system needs a little explanation too. I've seen many people get confused (mainly at the airport) when they were trying to guess what tickets to buy. First and foremost they work nearly everywhere with WTP/ZTM logo i.e. metro, bus, tram, SKM (local trains). (for newcomers) Tickets are timed for 20/75/90 minutes, but: 20 minutes is strictly 20 minutes. 75 and 90 are either timed or single fare (until terminus). So with these you can go to the very end, even if it takes longer than time specified on the ticket. Another fun thing is that 1-day ticket is *24 hours*, and not until the midnight. Weekend tickets are valid from Friday at 7PM and end at 8AM on Monday, so you have some extra time. Some services like L-line, P+R (designated public parking for easy transfers), KM (train), WKD (another train) require 1-day ticket or longer, but they are worth it. Apart from that, public transport is *very* cheap, especially if you have a student ID (local or ISIC). 1 week in London (metro only) set me back way more than 1-month normal-fare ticket in Warsaw. If you want to make ticket experience even smoother, there are apps that let you buy tickets on the phone.
thank you i never really thought of travelling to poland yet this was very interesting its so different from where I live, like, the way the stops work is different, the shape of the button to stop is different, the whole existence of buttons to open doors which isn't a thing here, the way they have a digital stops screen like our subways.... its all so different.
I hate the 170 line. When getting on between PKP Zacisze-Wilno or pl. Ostrej Bramy, you need to not only check the line number of the bus that's approaching, but also the direction it's heading towards. It's the worst when you just barely make it on the bus, and then after one stop it turns the opposite direction you wanted it to go.
this applies to all public transport in Warsaw PLEASE, IF THE BUTTON IS NOT LIT UP GREEN, THE BUS, TRAIN, ETC THE DOORS ARE LOCKED AND THE VEHICLE WILL BE DEPARTING SOON, (does not count if the driver has enough time and sees you, he will un lock them for you)
London also has numbering rules: • 1-200: regular bus routes, double-decker* • 201-300: regular bus routes, single-decker* • 301-500: buses in towns surrounding London are traditionally given these numbers so that they don't have the same number as any London routes.† • 501-600: peak-time shuttles between the railway termini and temporary bus routes around long-term road closures. • 601-700: school buses • 701-900: express (premium fare) • 901+: miscellaneous • N: night buses Letters A-W except N: "Prefix routes": • B: suburban buses in Bromley • C: local buses in the city centre (in theory; the C10 actually goes all the way from Victoria to Bermondsey). • D: suburban buses in the Docklands • E: suburban buses in Ealing • G: I only know of the G1 & don't know what the G means. • H: suburban buses in Hounslow • K: suburban buses in Kingston • P: suburban buses in Peckham • R: the "Roundabout" local bus network serving Orpington; also suburban buses in Richmond. • S: suburban buses in Sutton • T: feeder buses for trams • U: suburban buses in Uxbridge • W: suburban buses in Walthamstow It used to be that routes beginning with a letter were cheaper than those beginning with a number, but now all routes have the same fare of £1.75 except the 700s expresses. • X before the number: express (regular fare) • X after the number: extra buses for events • Y: If a route is split in 2 due to a closure blocking the middle, one of them will be given a Y for technical purposes. • SL: express routes (regular fare). These are orbital in principle, but the SL6 and SL8 are radial. * Mostly. When a route changes between single- or double-decker it keeps the same number. Furthermore, 501-700 used to be trolleybuses, when they were removed they were mostly given numbers in the 200s range regardless of whether they were single- or double-decker. † During the 90s, many routes were split into more, shorter routes to reduce delays, resulting in a big increase in the total number of bus routes, so many city routes were given bigger numbers. This process has resulted in several fairly important routes having numbers like 453 or 388. Also, some newer country routes have been given small numbers even though an urban route already has the same number.

Właśnie mnie utwierdziłeś, że system warszawskiej komunikacji ma jeszcze więcej sensu niż przypuszczałem. Sporo fajnych faktów o których nie wiedziałem. Zarobiłeś nowego widza :)
the reason why on central they all depart on exact same time is similar to the reason why they arrive at a similar time, and you actually mentioned the reason in the vid - to make transfers easy
In Sweden all buses is allowed to skip a stop if ther is No one there or if No one pressed stop button the bus drivers ar very good they vill see u but some stop is bad so ther is a thing that u spin so the bus can see u
About the night buses - it's the same in Łódź, there is one stop in the city center shared by all the lines, and they all depart at the same time (but they stand there for like 20 mins I think so it's not a problem to transfer). We only have 9 night bus lines though, so there isn't as much carnage as in Warsaw.
Using buses or checking bus routes? Here are my instructions on how to use a bus: 1-Get inside a bus 2-Scan a ticket 3-Plant your ass on a nearest seat or just find yourself a place you can idle on your smelly feet if seats are not available 4-Leave the bus whenever you want or before your ticket expires
yeah, I'd also add that sometimes the announcements are wrong (the visual or audio announcements of bus stops can be delayed, happens from time to time) so you should always be on alert and check if they're correct once you get on the bus
About night buses leaving at the same time. First of all, when I was a frequent user of this buses I always thought it is a brilliant solution. All the buses met at one spot and there was usually more than 10 minutes to change to another line. Which was more than enough. And you knew without checking that your bus will leave central station 15 past or 15 to any hour. Unfortunately nowadays due to space conetraints some of the night buses terminate not at the central station but at nearby streets. All pass through one of the stops called "Warszawa Centralna" but that makes it challanging to switch buses. Also there are now some night lines that start at an hour and half past an hour.
As a varsovian I think this is very nice and informative video, great job bro. Also- this made me understand Warsaw buses get about as many exceptions as our beautiful language 💀
Technically, you can open the doors during the bus ride, and jump out, because doors are made in such a way that you can manualy open them. Do not do it if the bus is riding fast (you can get hurt), but if bus is waiting at lights, and you need to jump out for some reason, nobody can stop you (unless they can). I don't think it is actually a crime btw. But if anyone asks, I said nothing. The doors are made like this for emergencies - you don't want to be stuck in a bus that is burning or crashed, so the doors are made so that you can escape easily.
It's very interesting story about Warsaw buses. Only one thing more would be useful for tourists. It's about absolutely abusive behaviour of driver who threw me out from the bus even if I had a ticket. I took on the bus with my bike, the bus was no crowd, I stood with my bike in the back and then a woman with a child in the stroller(buggy) got on the bus. Next the driver told me to get out. I asked "why", he told me that I can't continue my travel by bus, because "I am a risk to a buggy/stroller". I discussed to go on the travel in the other part of bus than the stroller (buggy), but the driver told me that he do not start the bus if I do not get out., because that is the law. I had to get off the bus. So, do not try to travel with a bike by bus in Warsaw, because getting on a bus a baby stroller/buggy ends your trip .
Yeah, I often took night buses from the first central bus stop, it's very comfortable if you were at Złote Tarasy Shopping Mall or cinema there or Central Train Station, because it's located nearby it. Sometimes I took on the night bus N24 from the next stop nearby Central Tube Station, so it's also comfortable.
As for the fast 4xx and 5xx buses - it's not just that they stop at less stops, they mostly have the larger proportion of on-demand stops to the normal ones. That's why during rush hours they suck. There always will be someone pressing that STOP button... Also - "Na żądanie" doesn't work as you mentioned in the video really - instead of waving you should raise your hand until you see the turn signal on the bus. In case you have a visible disability you just need to be present at the front of the stop for the bus driver to pick you up. Some other things you didn't mention: Contrary to some other European cities, the timetables give you the estimated departure time from THE STOP you are currently on. In some other large EU cities it only gives you the time of departure from the bus loop and you have to calculate it for your stop on your own.
actually, the 900 IS an exepction because its a fast-bus in dąbrówka wiślana. it's not a bus for single mothers, its a usual bus that leads to a tram loop.
That was very good; Thank you for your very informative video clip; Being from The UK our buses are very different; SOMETIMES the bus does not turn up; Sometimes the bus does not stop even if you stick your hand out;
Płochocińską MZA kupiło razem z Scaniami, więc jeszcze ta dochodzi. A co do Redutowej to były plany remontu (podobno dalej są) ale chwilowo są ważniejsze wydatki.
Very interesting. I have visited Warsaw as a tourist a few times, but never properly had a chance to use the buses as me and my family always drove there. Gonna save this one for when I turn up in Warsaw again, presumably by myself. Keep up the good work lad! - From a Polish-born lad raised in the UK
It is used in Bydgoszcz. We just don't have so many different types of bus lines. 51-89 are all regular lines 30s are night lines 40s and 90s are suburban lines ZaTx are tram replacement lines 3 or 4 digit line numbers are only used on special occasions. There are also 2 periodic lines used on vacation but I can't remember the number. We used to have express bus lines in Bydgoszcz, but they were discontinued years ago.
I've never been in Warsaw (or Poland in generall) how can I have been using their bussystem wrong then? Was my mistake to never have visited Poland? 6:11 Isn't this just a syncronized timetable, like in Switzerland where all trains and busses arrive in major stations at simmilar times and also leave at simmilar times. Also why is the bus naming system in poland (or Warsaw) more sophisticated than the one in Switzerland or atleast Bern and Thun; We litteraly just count them, in Bern 3,6,7,8 and 9 are trams, above that are busses. There's no line 1, 2, 4 and 5 in Trams of Bernmobil and the bus naming system has also some weird gaps. Thun on the other hand has 1-6 perfectly numbered (but Thun has no trams, so they're busses instead) and after that there's a huge gap until 21, because there were two bussystems in Thun but they merged together and they both had their own conventions. Okay, we have Nightbusses, they start with M (Moonliner, it's the brand of them, but actually they're scrambled by the regional bus companies)
The bus system naming is kinda complicated mostly because there is about 300 bus lines in Warsaw. At that point it really makes sense to have some organized way of naming them.
The one thing You also could mention, is the fact that every bus and tram have special seats for elderly and woman who are expecting. From my own experience, it's best not to seat there even if the seats are empty, beacause You will need to get up mostly in like... 1 or 2 stops
i didn't know there was a pattern like that to our bus numbers!! I mean I suspected there has to be a meaning behind them but oml this is so smart!! I love this vid (even though I believe in tram supremacy) 💫
Dla kogoś z zagranicy to może być kompendium wiedzy jak poruszać się autobusami. Ale pomieszałeś nieco kolejność informacji. W pierwszej kolejności podałbym informacje o zakupie biletu i jak czytać timetable a dopiero na końcu takie smaczki jak jakie informacje są ukryte w numerach konkretnych linii.

Thanks god. Chat GPT can summarize this video for me. Edit: What the fuck is this video bro. How do I use buses wrong? The title suggests this video would offer useful insights on how to improve the way we use buses, but it mostly covers basic information that doesn’t add much value to daily commuting. Instead of providing practical tips, it's19 minutes on general facts that are mostly useless, without really delivering on the promise of helping viewers use the bus system more effectively.
Before buying a ticket in the machine inside a bus/tram, it never says it's already validated. Same happened to me in Fryburg, where I bought 3 tickets for the next day in a tram, which I could not use.
12:19 in that cases there is always a yellow paper board wich lists the streets that the bus will go through. But I guess it would be hard for someone that doesn't know Warsaw well to follow that information.
I was talking about route changes that last for a day or less (like closing streets for events, protests). If the route change lasts longer than a few days, they will make a yellow board.

About the night buses - it's the same in Łódź, there is one stop in the city center shared by all the lines, and they all depart at the same time (but they stand there for like 20 mins I think so it's not a problem to transfer). We only have 9 night bus lines though, so there isn't as much carnage as in Warsaw.
196 running around Rembertów oes run during School Holiday and runs week days only during September.
I am so impressed with your research. This is literally archival work.
Well written, very informative. Thanks for the video!
Using buses or checking bus routes?
Here are my instructions on how to use a bus:
1-Get inside a bus
2-Scan a ticket
3-Plant your ass on a nearest seat or just find yourself a place you can idle on your smelly feet if seats are not available
4-Leave the bus whenever you want or before your ticket expires
if you do a part 2 I will watch for sure, can't wait!!
yeah, I'd also add that sometimes the announcements are wrong (the visual or audio announcements of bus stops can be delayed, happens from time to time) so you should always be on alert and check if they're correct once you get on the bus
About night buses leaving at the same time. First of all, when I was a frequent user of this buses I always thought it is a brilliant solution. All the buses met at one spot and there was usually more than 10 minutes to change to another line. Which was more than enough. And you knew without checking that your bus will leave central station 15 past or 15 to any hour. Unfortunately nowadays due to space conetraints some of the night buses terminate not at the central station but at nearby streets. All pass through one of the stops called "Warszawa Centralna" but that makes it challanging to switch buses. Also there are now some night lines that start at an hour and half past an hour.
There is a night line N50 that goes to konstancin-jeziorna, so that would be exception from the number-zone rule.
As a varsovian I think this is very nice and informative video, great job bro. Also- this made me understand Warsaw buses get about as many exceptions as our beautiful language 💀
Ja już się pogubiłem na początku xD
Rel XDDDD
Technically, you can open the doors during the bus ride, and jump out, because doors are made in such a way that you can manualy open them. Do not do it if the bus is riding fast (you can get hurt), but if bus is waiting at lights, and you need to jump out for some reason, nobody can stop you (unless they can). I don't think it is actually a crime btw. But if anyone asks, I said nothing. The doors are made like this for emergencies - you don't want to be stuck in a bus that is burning or crashed, so the doors are made so that you can escape easily.
It's very interesting story about Warsaw buses. Only one thing more would be useful for tourists. It's about absolutely abusive behaviour of driver who threw me out from the bus even if I had a ticket. I took on the bus with my bike, the bus was no crowd, I stood with my bike in the back and then a woman with a child in the stroller(buggy) got on the bus. Next the driver told me to get out. I asked "why", he told me that I can't continue my travel by bus, because "I am a risk to a buggy/stroller". I discussed to go on the travel in the other part of bus than the stroller (buggy), but the driver told me that he do not start the bus if I do not get out., because that is the law. I had to get off the bus. So, do not try to travel with a bike by bus in Warsaw, because getting on a bus a baby stroller/buggy ends your trip .
06:02 I didn't know that. It looks so funny when all these buses are leaving at the same time. 😛
Yeah, I often took night buses from the first central bus stop, it's very comfortable if you were at Złote Tarasy Shopping Mall or cinema there or Central Train Station, because it's located nearby it. Sometimes I took on the night bus N24 from the next stop nearby Central Tube Station, so it's also comfortable.
5:57 Not true, Half of the buses depart on x:15 and the other half departs a half an hour later.
Standardowo linia kursuje co 30 minut, jednak czasami jest podzielona na dwie kursujące co 60 minut
As Polish citizen living in Warsaw, I approve
I tak nie mieszkam w Warszawie ale się przyda bo czasami odwiedzam moją ciotkę tam
busses starting with a 1 are local buses that usually go around a district in a circle
busses starting with 2 are normal busses that stop everywhere
As for the fast 4xx and 5xx buses - it's not just that they stop at less stops, they mostly have the larger proportion of on-demand stops to the normal ones. That's why during rush hours they suck. There always will be someone pressing that STOP button...
Also - "Na żądanie" doesn't work as you mentioned in the video really - instead of waving you should raise your hand until you see the turn signal on the bus. In case you have a visible disability you just need to be present at the front of the stop for the bus driver to pick you up. Some other things you didn't mention: Contrary to some other European cities, the timetables give you the estimated departure time from THE STOP you are currently on. In some other large EU cities it only gives you the time of departure from the bus loop and you have to calculate it for your stop on your own.
Oh, and the route boards mentioned in 11:40 are not plastic but thin-wall HDF (usually 5mm, the same type you use for wardrobe backs).
actually, the 900 IS an exepction because its a fast-bus in dąbrówka wiślana. it's not a bus for single mothers, its a usual bus that leads to a tram loop.
That was very good; Thank you for your very informative video clip; Being from The UK our buses are very different; SOMETIMES the bus does not turn up; Sometimes the bus does not stop even if you stick your hand out;
I noticed numbers on bus stops actually mean smth. Usually 01 indicates a direction towards the centre of Warsaw.
Płochocińską MZA kupiło razem z Scaniami, więc jeszcze ta dochodzi. A co do Redutowej to były plany remontu (podobno dalej są) ale chwilowo są ważniejsze wydatki.
Very interesting. I have visited Warsaw as a tourist a few times, but never properly had a chance to use the buses as me and my family always drove there.
Gonna save this one for when I turn up in Warsaw again, presumably by myself.
Keep up the good work lad!

1:30 There are also lines 1xx which have 12-meter buses like 157 or 179. I think it's not a rule
18:33 does anyone know what's the song called
Sometimes it happens that jakdojade shows wrong bus stop number, be careful
Now that google maps implemented its public transport support, JakDojade became pretty much obsolete.
Cool! I wish special numbering was used in Bydgoszcz
It is used in Bydgoszcz. We just don't have so many different types of bus lines.
51-89 are all regular lines
30s are night lines
40s and 90s are suburban lines
ZaTx are tram replacement lines
3 or 4 digit line numbers are only used on special occasions. There are also 2 periodic lines used on vacation but I can't remember the number. We used to have express bus lines in Bydgoszcz, but they were discontinued years ago.
I'm happy to live in a barely-city of Szczecin. It's much simplier
But you forge about line start with 5 (5xx) which is rushed bus and mostly skipping some buses!
The bus u rode first they use that bus in Sweden Skåne but a other model a little bigger not artuilatited
Tho its made by Solaris and nobina
I've never been in Warsaw (or Poland in generall) how can I have been using their bussystem wrong then?
Was my mistake to never have visited Poland?
6:11 Isn't this just a syncronized timetable, like in Switzerland where all trains and busses arrive in major stations at simmilar times and also leave at simmilar times.
Also why is the bus naming system in poland (or Warsaw) more sophisticated than the one in Switzerland or atleast Bern and Thun; We litteraly just count them, in Bern 3,6,7,8 and 9 are trams, above that are busses. There's no line 1, 2, 4 and 5 in Trams of Bernmobil and the bus naming system has also some weird gaps. Thun on the other hand has 1-6 perfectly numbered (but Thun has no trams, so they're busses instead) and after that there's a huge gap until 21, because there were two bussystems in Thun but they merged together and they both had their own conventions. Okay, we have Nightbusses, they start with M (Moonliner, it's the brand of them, but actually they're scrambled by the regional bus companies)
The bus system naming is kinda complicated mostly because there is about 300 bus lines in Warsaw. At that point it really makes sense to have some organized way of naming them.
11:41 That's not plastic, that's plywood.
The ones I saw were HDF not plywood.
Man I love that city
The one thing You also could mention, is the fact that every bus and tram have special seats for elderly and woman who are expecting. From my own experience, it's best not to seat there even if the seats are empty, beacause You will need to get up mostly in like... 1 or 2 stops
Night trains depart at the same time to like you said allow for transfers between lines.
Ale fajnie żebyś to opisał❤
Najlepszy poradnik dla foreignerow ever
boże ten rembertów. nie chce wiedzieć ile czasu spędziłem w 153, 225, czy N24
i didn't know there was a pattern like that to our bus numbers!! I mean I suspected there has to be a meaning behind them but oml this is so smart!! I love this vid (even though I believe in tram supremacy) 💫
Dla kogoś z zagranicy to może być kompendium wiedzy jak poruszać się autobusami. Ale pomieszałeś nieco kolejność informacji. W pierwszej kolejności podałbym informacje o zakupie biletu i jak czytać timetable a dopiero na końcu takie smaczki jak jakie informacje są ukryte w numerach konkretnych linii.
kurde, naprawdę ciekawy kontent, przypomina mi tak trochę geoff marshalla, będę czasami tu zaglądał sobie :), taki Polski odpowiednik można powiedzieć

are Double decker buses like in England available in Poland or maybe in the future ?
not buses, but sometimes we have trains that are double decked
actually very useful video
262 ma 2 na początku ale nie jedzie w weekendy
Yay, ostatnio się nad tym zastanawiałam. Sankju!
225 nie jezdzi podczas weekendow wiec to nie zawsze tak dziala
Hey, are you ok ?
Pro tip: Don't use 509
All 500 numers are fast lines as well I belive
But he said that
@@tymonrozanski ok im just stupid xD
Thanks god. Chat GPT can summarize this video for me.
Edit: What the fuck is this video bro. How do I use buses wrong? The title suggests this video would offer useful insights on how to improve the way we use buses, but it mostly covers basic information that doesn’t add much value to daily commuting. Instead of providing practical tips, it's19 minutes on general facts that are mostly useless, without really delivering on the promise of helping viewers use the bus system more effectively.
hah, my photo at 2:57 :D
BRO JA ZNAM KAZDY SEKRET TYCH AUTOBUSÓW

nawet nie wiedzialem ze wszystko wiedzialem iykwim
Before buying a ticket in the machine inside a bus/tram, it never says it's already validated. Same happened to me in Fryburg, where I bought 3 tickets for the next day in a tram, which I could not use.
widać wkład, dobra robota
A ja mam wywalone bo do warszawki mam daleko, imo wolę już zostać zaczadzony w Krakowie niź mieszkać w Warszawie
are you related to Snakes?😂
PILARS = TOTEMS
omg ktoś tak samo jak ja ma pierdolca na temat komunikacji miejskiej w warszawie
Jesteś pierdoloną legendą stary
512 is the best :)
12:19 in that cases there is always a yellow paper board wich lists the streets that the bus will go through. But I guess it would be hard for someone that doesn't know Warsaw well to follow that information.
I was talking about route changes that last for a day or less (like closing streets for events, protests). If the route change lasts longer than a few days, they will make a yellow board.
