R. R.[16] On 7 April 1995, in the neighbourhood were opened two stations of the M1 line of the Warsaw Metro rapid transit underground system.It was opened by Józef Oleksy, the Prime Minister of Poland, Marcin Święcicki, the mayor of Warsaw, and Jan Podoski, an engineer who proposed and initiated the construction of the metro line.[1] It borders Wyględów to the northwest, Wierzbno to the north, Sielce, and Stegny to the east, Służew to the south, Służewiec to the west.
