Public Transportation in Poland [30]
These days here in Warsaw the pondlife called illegal taxis seems to have somewhat disappeared in the airport. There are 3 official taxi corporations in the airport. All of them are reliable. MPT is owned by the city and you cannot do wring with them.

When using taxis in Warsaw, it is strongly recommended that you only use taxis with the following: the symbol of Warsaw - a mermaid - on both front doors, yellow/red stripes affixed to the glass along the front doors, a number stuck to the side of the vehicle, a hologram with the license number and the vehicle's registration number on the upper right-hand corner of the front glass and a sticker with price information per kilometer that must be displayed on the glass of the right-hand side back door.

The unlicensed sharks can still be found around the old town very frequently.
As for public transport, I find it reliable, cheap and especially in the rush hour trams and metro bing you everywhere way faster than a car.
Ticket-selling machines are to be found almost on every corner now, and sometimes in the new buses and trams as well.
