[Poland] A paradise for bus and rail fans - Bruce Museum

#bus #polland The tram system in Łódź is one of the oldest and most extensive tram networks in Poland, operating since 1898. Managed by the Municipal Public Transport Company of Łódź (MPK Łódź), the network has a total length of approximately 124 kilometers and includes 24 tram lines. Trams are an important part of urban public transportation, connecting various areas and providing residents and visitors with an efficient and environmentally friendly mode of transportation. Every year, the Tram Terminal, which is also home to the Brus Tram Museum, holds an open day, inviting the public to explore behind the scenes of the city’s tram operations. This event is a great opportunity for trolley enthusiasts and families to learn about the history and operation of the trolley system. Visitors can tour the maintenance facilities, see the trams up close, and even participate in some interactive activities that are both educational and fun. A highlight of the Open Day is the vintage bus exhibition at the Bruce Museum, located at ulica Konstantynowska 115. This exhibition displays vintage buses and trams that were once used in Łódź’s public transport fleet. The museum offers a nostalgic look at the evolution of public transportation in the city, with beautifully restored vehicles and informative displays transporting visitors back in time.
