130 rokov MHD v Bratislave: Deň otvorených dverí DPB

Organizer’s text:

Visit Depo Jurajov dvor and experience everything that goes on behind the scenes of a bus or tram journey to your stop. You will be able to try trolleybus trolleying, switch tram points, peek into the secrets of traffic control, or sit in the cabs of modern and historic DPB vehicles. You can also look forward to rides on the Cabriobus, a trip through the trolleybus washing line, an upholstery workshop, a tour of the tram testing hall, and guided tours of the Krasňany Depot, which will be available after registration.
The atmosphere will be enhanced by popular competitions – from a public transport driver skills competition with participants from all over Czechoslovakia to a new bus cleaning competition, in which visitors themselves will be able to take part. The best competitors will receive a three-month tram pass as a reward.

Children can look forward to creative workshops, bouncy castles, the Bratislava Puppet Theater, and Zahrajka and Myška Eliška. There will also be a music program with Samo Tomeček & Milujem Slovensko Band and Katka Ščevlíková, the traditional Šoto-Shop with new products, and a rich gastronomic zone.

The highlight of the day will be a spectacular convoy of historic public transport vehicles, which will set off on a ride through the city at 4:00 p.m. Dozens of trams, buses, and trolleybuses will take part in a parade the likes of which Bratislava has not seen in more than ten years. Visitors will be able to see with their own eyes a cross-section of the history of urban transport, from the oldest vehicles to the legends of recent decades.
