JELCZ 272 aka - THE CUCUMBER

This popular bus was produced In Poland from 1958 until 1985, and nicknamed the "Cucumber" due to its elongated and somewhat comical appearance. It was manufactured under the license of the Czechoslovakian company, Skoda. It was an intercity and inner city bus used by public transportation companies in Polish cities and existed in both a shorter and extended version, the latter made of two buses joined as one. In the late 1970s Ogorek buses were slowly replaced by more modern (by East European, communist standards) units. By the late 1980s the last of the "Cucumbers" sadly disappeared from city landscapes.

Our perfectly renovated bus can hold up to 70 people (28 seats) and looks amazing when accompanied by the fleet of our Trabants sailing to Nowa Huta :)
