I am from Lodz...although I dont need to move alot from here.

However, my response to your enquiry: I think bus is ideal. You cannot just cycle (as that is the only thing you dont seem to have problem with). Really... start thinking BUS.

I thought already , LS and if I need to be in Lodz by 9 so there is no bus that leave Warsaw that early becouse it take 2,5 hours to get from here to there if you know any bus that leave Warsaw to Lodz everyday early morning that get me there before 9 let me know I try PKS and Posk express but not luck

I work from monday to friday 9 to 5 I live in Warsaw becouse I have a flat here but maybe will have to move to Lodz . Been looking at gum tree and other sites for a cheap flat with furniture do you know some agencies ?but if could go there and back everyday will be better for me .

I think that there's going to be a fast train between Warsaw and Lódz, which should make It in little over 1h but not sooner than in 2 years.

yes I knew that ,too bad mean while will move to live there if find a cheap flat .I wonder will take two years to make 134 Km of tracks , and Lodz is a major trade center lot of big companies , they shoud have another train company not run by the state to improve things better .

Sorry to break the news, but I think you really are going to have to relocate. 3hrs commuting is that one way or there and back? Either way, it will take a lot out of you to commute so much, it will effectively end any social life you might wish to have during the week. Bite the bullet and relocate.

1200 PLN

Not bad. I'm a local...I know... and its not bad money :) ... just need to select carefully... and I think you will find the right one in the right location in Lodz.

LS since you know the area any particularly decent districts?
OP zion  
16 Apr 2007 /  #26
hope so LS once you here what can you tell about this area Bałuty is called good , save ? my mean problem is to find buses or trams from there to the center !
Giles  
16 Apr 2007 /  #27
hmm ok see what I can find, I'll check for centrum....and Baluty

Right well seemingly there are not a huge amount of flats on offer in the centrum, but there are few (have only checked one site so far), baluty does seem to have alot to offer. What size are you looking for 1 or 2 bedrooms? 30 sqm or 40 or what?

1 bedroom ,around 30sqm .
