The busses of an Austrian and a Czech traffic route including their drivers will be exchanged for two weeks. The Austrian Bus will drive on the Czech route with a Czech shotgun, the Czech one on the Austrian route with an Austrian shotgun.
“A different bus drives in the evening where we left in the morning, a different house is located there, a different neighbour closes his garage door …”
The busses won’t be specifically altered for the project, the exchange will be 1:1. The only things that have been altered are the stop displays, the cash box and the ticket machines.
