On the occasion of the 16th anniversary of the introduction of the first Mercedes into service in Krakow, I would like to present their first representative in terms of numbering in the best driving technique that could be imagined :D Currently, it is also the loudest representative of the Mercedes Citaro in Krakow in terms of gearbox. Unfortunately, the end of these vehicles is coming to an end, because there are rumours that they will not last until 2025 (although I think they will still drive ;) ). Without delay, I encourage you to listen to the series of 20 kickdowns! ———————————— Line 301 Niepołomice Station - Nowy Kleparz Niepołomice Market Square - Wieliczka Klasztor Brigade: 301-03B Purchased in November 2008 from the Wola Duchacka (PW) depot ex (DC501) MPK Krakow 2008-2018 (DC701) MPK Krakow 2018-???
