At the train platform of the Skopje Transportation Centre in North Macedonia, there is a row of KC190, type KF, kiosks used as ticket vending points and staff offices.

What are your personal memories of these kiosks?

Pamiętacie czasy, gdy na kioski można było natknąć się niemal wszędzie? Stanowiły one nieodłączny element miejskiego krajobrazu, nawet częściej niż dzisiaj sklepy z płazem w nazwie. Produkowane seryjnie w latach 1970-1990 kioski modułowe stały na każdym rogu byłego bloku wschodnieg...
