About the sound
The sound of opening and closing doors in the NGT6 tramcar recorded at Podgórze depot hall in Krakow. The first low-floor tramcars produced by Bombardier Transportation were delivered to Krakow in 1999 and represented a breakthrough in the quality of travelling by public transport. The popular Bombardiers are 26 m long and can carry 180 passengers.
