Public Transport

Public transport is based around a fairly dense network of tramway and bus lines operated by a municipal company. Local trains connects the suburbs. The bulk of the city’s historic area has been turned into a pedestrian zone with rickshaws and horse buggies; however, the tramlines run within a three-block radius.

Tickets valid on trams and buses can be purchased in kiosks and special MPK ticket centres (ul. Podwale 3-5, ul. Podwale/Bagatela - at the tram stop, ul. Mogilska 15a, ul. św. Wawrzyńca 13, ul. Kalwaryjska 32, os. Centrum D 7, ul. Polonijna 1, MPK Bus Station in Mistrzejowice, end-of-the-line Krowodrza Górka, end-of-the-line Borek Fałęcki) and, with a surcharge, from the driver.

The following types of tickets are available:
single-trip (allows one way trip, without interchange),
night ticket (allows one way trip by night buses, without interchange),
group tickets for up to 15 or 20 persons, one-hour (valid for unlimited travel for one hour on trams and buses, invalid on night buses),
24-hour (valid for unlimited travel for 24 hours on trams, buses and night buses),
48-hour (valid for unlimited travel for 48 hours on trams, buses and night buses) ,
72-hour (valid for unlimited travel for 72 hours on trams, buses and night buses).

All types of tickets should be validated in the ticket puncher immediately after boarding a vehicle. A monthly pass may be purchased for a single line or for all means of public transport.
