Permission for bus engines to idle during stops

The bill allows bus drivers to keep engines running while parked in built-up areas. The previous ban created a conflict between traffic regulations and vehicle manufacturers' technical requirements.
Key points
Bus drivers will no longer face fines up to PLN 3,000 for leaving engines running during stops.
The change enables compliance with manufacturer guidelines for cooling engines and turbochargers (3-6 minutes before shutdown).
Better technical condition of buses means fewer breakdowns and lower repair costs for local governments.
Passengers gain assurance that information systems and ticket validators will work properly.
Police and courts will no longer pursue this type of traffic offense.
