Świdnica: Pożegnanie Spalinowych MAN-ów Komunikacja Już W Pełni Elektryczna!

On Sunday, September 28th, a unique and emotional event took place at the Świdnica bus depot, officially closing a chapter in the history of local public transport. The Świdnica Municipal Transport Company organized the Farewell to MAN Diesel Buses, which was not only a symbolic farewell to the aging fleet but also a chance to break the unofficial world record for the number of people accommodated in a single city bus. Although the record was ultimately not broken, attendance was good, and the charitable goal was achieved. The event attracted crowds of residents, transport enthusiasts, and those eager to share in this historic moment. As expected, interest was enormous. Despite ambitious plans to break the unofficial world record, the final tally was an impressive 174 people who managed to fit onto the farewell bus. This result demonstrates the high level of enthusiasm and enthusiasm of the participants. The most important aspect of the day, however, was the charitable purpose that guided the entire event. Świdnica Public Transport (MPK) declared that for every person who boarded the bus in the record attempt, they would donate 5 złoty to the Świdnica Animal Shelter. Although the record was not broken, accommodating 144 passengers resulted in a total of 720 złoty, which the company proudly donated to help animals in need. Thanks to the high turnout, MPK generously supported the local facility. The event also had a symbolic meaning. Świdnica, as one of the first cities in Poland, can boast that its public transport fleet is now fully electric. The farewell to the last diesel-powered MAN buses officially seals this ecological transformation. Świdnica residents can now travel in modern, quiet, and, most importantly, zero-emission buses, thus contributing to the trend of sustainable development and concern for air quality.
