Anniversary the city of Solo

Tomorrow is the anniversary of the Solo City to 266 years. The event will be celebrated with various activities such as carnivals and the launch of a new transportation mode that is railbus.

Railbus is a train that will run through the middle of the city using the railway line which has been long in the city of Solo.
