Deep night or already early morning, but the city still sleeps. Lonely lanterns illuminate the silent streets, and rare cars break the silence, driving along the wide avenues. And only drivers of washing machines work during these hours. Cleanliness on the capital’s streets and highways is provided by special transport of the municipal utilities of the city.

Driving past after a night shift, I became interested in the essence of their work. It is clear that the main thing for them is the cleanliness of city highways: there was not a speck on the wet and wide lane creeping behind the car – the machinery fulfilled its purpose so conscientiously. There was a smell of freshness and the cleanliness of the track, and the capital, flooded with electric light, in the predawn haze seemed like a mirage hovering above the earth.
