WARSAW MUNICIPAL TRANSPORTATION OVERLOADED -- Gazeta Ludowa, No 280, 24 Nov 49
The Warsaw Municipal Transportation System carries 35 million passengers
a month with a rolling stock of only 444 cars, or 45 percent of the equipment
required for efficient operation. Moreover, wear and tear is high because
facilities are overloaded.
The transportation system deserves help instead of the constant criticism
which it now receives.
RESURFACE HIGHWAYS -- Gazeta Ludowa, No 274, 17 Nov 49
The 1949 construction season has resulted in a considerable expansion in
the network of highways. About 280 kilometers of asphalt, and gravel roads,
comprising most of the highways of Warsaw Wojewodztwo, have been restored.
The Warsaw-Lublin highway, which suffered the greatest war damage, was
resurfaced with tarmacadam this year as far as Gonczyce in Garwolin Powiat.
Next year it will be extended to Ryki.
The section of the Warsaw-Biala Podlaska highway between Pultusk and
Serock has also been repaired for vehicular traffic.
The section of the Krakow highway between Grojec and Bialobrzeg has been
improved, and a large section of the Gdansk highway, between Plonsk, Zakroczym,
and Now, Dwor, has been rebuilt.
