Public Transport in Warsaw

Does anybody else thing that Warsaw has the worst Bus , trams in the Europe

Please only reply to this if you live in Warsaw and has to take the old beat, over crowded buses everyday !! Please do not apply if you live in the UK and think you know how is life in Poland .

Thank you

No, I think Szczecin has some of the worst trams. You'll find some of these old trams in a lot of cities though.

Why is this topic so special that it's only limited to those that live in Warsaw. A lot of us have traveled there. Our opinion doesn't matter. Pfff with YOUR thread :P

I just did not want some people that dont have to take it everyday and take once in a while here in Holidays and think is nostalgical or something . plus I see many people here living in the UK and thinking they know a thing about hard life in Poland

Exactly. I'm in Warsaw every month, but you don't hear me saying "Poles aren't allowed to comment on how rubbish London transport is".

Everyone complains about their city's public transport anyway, so this thread is a bit of a waste of space really. Tell us something we don't know. :p

I didnt mind the transport at all, apart from the odd drunk at the bus or tram stops who hassled me and I didnt have a clue what they were saying.

do you live in Warsaw ??? no so you dont have to take it everyday >>

I am sick of this English that dont live here think they know about life here !!!

mind you own bussines !!!

I'm Polish, so you can either shove your bilet tygodniowy miejski where the sun don't shine, or you can stop the lame trolling.

Or preferably both.

or another one that had to leave poland to make a living !! in London !!!

"Foreigners: Please don't buy the Polish bus tickets!"

;)

ROFL :))

moral of the Story .

It sucks having to take the bus in this Hole that they call a city

It is what you make of it.

yes it is

Wind your neck in Zeze... I was there for afew days I didnt suggest I know what 'Life' is like just from a personal observation.

Tool.

anyone else want to shere about taking the bus everyday in warsaw ?? please only reply if you live in WARSAW !!!!!!

Walsall has a tram network? You learn something new everyday. :)

is Warsaw punk and it has but is a bad one one must wait long for a tram to come by

Warsaw punk

Never liked punk whatever the city of origin but i suppose it fits. Safety pins and ghetto blasters. Maximum annoyance and even better captive audiences. The ultimate mobile disco. :)

edit: clumbsy spelling

I ride the tram every day (and have yet to buy a ticket). Don't see anything wrong with them, nor the buses. Buses are usually punctual but they have an odd habit of coming on time or not coming at all.

that is good at least is free for you

im here for the month and its been two weeks today and ive no complaints against the trams and the buses are regular and timely.

I prefere the trams as they are less crowded. the fact that there is alot of renovation to the roads and tram system will make it harder to bare at present but its fine. Nothing worth complaining about in the grand scheme of things. the worst complaint is that they are crowded and thats hardly worth mentioning.

the metro is unfortunately wide enough (ie more routes) like a route from the airport to centrum would have made so much sense but its only since the mid 1990's it was built so there is plenty of time and EU money yet to come.

been here for a year - no complaints. get a book to read on the bus, buy a car (for which you would not find any parking in the centre) or walk! Go visit countries in southern hemisphere before you moan about transport in europe :)

coming from South Africa I can see why you think here is great !!!! but as you said we are in Europe or as far as Trasport is concern East Europe very much . and yes the bus are like the ones in Iran if you ask me .

have you ever been to sa?

yes I did to Jburg or whatever they call that place what are you doing in Wawa . do you live here for how long ?

how long have you been in johannesburg?

Strange how quiet you've become.
Strange how you tell people not living in warsaw that they can't answer any questions about the public transport in warsaw
And yet you have - in the same breath - the nerve to insult a country that you know nothing about?
Also strange - if you look at the other topics that you started - how there is nothing positive in anything you say?
Sad, my friend, sad.
End of this discussion

I was not comparing the Warsaw trasport sistem with SA of for sure the one here is better then SA . But we are not in AFRICA we are in Europe and in warsaw they still ride Tramps from the 60,s

What is the best ticket to buy if you are for 1 year in Warsaw and travel at average once a day? Single ticket is 2.4 Zloty (this is only a one way ticket - valid in metro, bus and tram). A day ticket is 7.2 Zloty (so already pays off if you take the public transport 3 times in one day).

I also read something about 30 day tickets and 90 day tickets, but I don't know how much they cost and about how they work (if they can only be bought at the beginning of the month and if they are valid everywhere and always). Can someone help me/us out?

Thanks!

hey ducth boy how are you ? yes mate best deal is buying the 3 month card valid for all the network you can buy at any time of the month and expire at the day you boght 3 monthes later . I do but the 1 month one for 66 PLN and top up everymonth .

Far from it. Public transport here is far far better than London or Southampton. It’s not as good as Geneva but then they spend a shedload of cash on theirs.


Actually they started it in the early 1980s (if you don’t count work done in the 1950s).


The best tickets to get are the 30 day tickets. For them you need a Warszawska karta miejska. I got mine from the ZTM main office on the corner of pl Bankowy and Saski Park. Then you just reload them at various Ruch kiosks or the automatic machines at Metro stations (when they are working). The 90-day cards are slightly cheaper (166zl, the 30-day cards are 66zl) but if you lose one you lose more.
