That's not the same join for optimization purposes
since postgresql treats explicit join syntax as a
constraint on the ordering of joins.
The same join would be something like:
przystanki p1 join miasta m1 using (id_miasta)
join (przystanki p2 join miasta m2 using (id_miasta))
using (id_przystanku)
minus the fact I think you'd need some explicit naming in
there.
