Krakow Mobilis driver Maksymilian Gądek explains reserve‑bus work

Maksymilian Gądek works as a reserve driver for the private bus operator Mobilis in Krakow. Because he has no fixed line, he can be dispatched to any route each day and must know all detours and the specifics of the city’s streets. He began his career five years ago after a stint with the municipal MPK, and now runs the fanpage “Rezerwista z wyboru” to show passengers what a bus driver’s job entails. The page answers common questions about regulations, bike and luggage transport, boarding procedures and other everyday issues that riders often wonder about. Gądek says the aim is to make the public transport system more transparent and to address passenger concerns directly from a driver’s perspective.
