"City transportation - tickets and basic rules" Top 5 Page for this destination Tickets Tip by matcrazy1

My recommendation for a visitor is to walk on foot (the Old Town and the Royal Way) and use either city transportation (bus, tram, metro - 1 line only) or taxis (door to door transportation, more expensive but more comfortable and safer). City buses and trams are mostly quite punctual :-) and go from 4.30 am - 5.00 am to about 11.00 pm - 11.30 pm. Night bus lines go later (numbered 601 up). Trams are a bit faster than buses in rush hours.

BUS LINES NUMBERING MODE
Black numbers from 101 up - day lines
Black numbers from 301 up - day rush hours lines
Red numbers from 401 up and E-1 to E-5 - fast rush hours lines
Red numbers from 500 up - fast day lines
Black numbers from 601 up - night lines
Black numbers from 701 up - suburbian day lines
Black numbers from 801 up - suburbian rush hours lines
Red numbers from 201 - temporarily lines (special events, holidays)

TICKETS
There are the same tickets for both city buses, trams and metro which reach almost each point in large Warsaw area. The tickets are sold in numerous kiosks (read my shopping tip) and by a driver of a bus or trams (but only on a stop, they don't give any change, and you must pay 0.6 zl more unless you take a night or suburbian bus).

Haha, there are tenths or even hundreds kinds of tickets. Students always pay 50%. The most usuful tickets for a visitor (100% fare):
- 2.40 zl - for a single trip in day lines
- 2.00 zl - for a single trip in day lines which starts on business day between 9 am and 2 pm
- 7.20 zl (1.9 euros) - for 24 hours since validation time (inside the city, valid also for night buses)
- 12 zl (3.2 euros) - as above but for 3 days
- 24 zl - as above but for 7 days.
There is NO fee for any luggage or bicycle.
