Wroclaw has an extensive public transport network. Unfortunately we don’t have an underground, but we do have a well-developed tramway system. Public transport fares: Single-ride tickets, identical for buses and trams, can be bought at
newsagents’, from vending machines, and also from bus and tram drivers.
However, bus and tram drivers sell tickets only on non-working days and
after 8 p.m. on working days. There’s a PLN 0.40 surcharge if you buy a
ticket from the driver, regardless of what kind of ticket it is. Period
tickets for public transport are also available, ranging from one-day
to 90-day tickets. Such a ticket may be a good buy compared with
single-ride tickets, which are only valid for one ride without any
transfers. Period tickets can be purchased at designated distribution
outlets and from any of the red-and-yellow vending machines located at
tram and bus stops; a list of such machines is available here. Please
note that the machines only accept coins and not all of them give
change. In addition to the city-owned public transport company, MPK, there are also private operators in Wroclaw,
who operate routes terminating outside the city limits. They have their
own schedules of fares, and the numbering of such routes starts at 500.
Fares are collected by the drivers on those buses. A 50 per cent discount is available on Wroclaw’s
public transport for persons aged 26 or under holding a pupil or
student ID. To be eligible for the concessionary fares, foreigners must
hold an International Student Identity Card or GO25 International Youth
Travel Card issued by a foreign institution of higher education.
Information about all concessions (including free-of-charge and
reduced-fare carriage of disabled persons and their carers) and
detailed rules r Persons
in wheelchairs should take note of special designations on timetables.
Buses designated with the letter N are low-floor vehicles easy to get
on and off for people with impaired mobility. Telephone information services: The
City Lost and Found Office run by the Street and Transport Authority
(ZDiK) helps passengers to recover items left on city buses.
Information about lost and found property can be obtained by calling
(+48 71) 355-09-19, Mon–Fri 10 am. – 1 p.m.
Trams do not run during the night, whereas buses run around the clock (not all of them, of course, as there’s no need for that).
In Wroclaw there are daytime normal routes, designated by black numbers from 100 do 149, and express routes, designated by red letters: A, C, D, E, K, and N. Suburban routes are numbered 604 to 623.
Night routes are designated by black numbers from 240 to 259; night buses run only once an hour.
