Lately I've started being mischievous towards normals who have the perceptiveness of an average smartphone user.

When I'm in an Elf II from Koleje Wielkopolskie and I happen to be the first person at the doors, I push the door opening button early. Then I just stand there and wait for the doors to open, while people behind me start panicking that nobody's pushing the button.

W grze są więc Alstom i Stadler, których oferty mieszczą się w budżecie przewoźnika.
