Getting around the city, and which apps to install
Polish cities run entirely on time-based tickets. A paper ticket must go into the yellow validator the moment you board or before you enter the metro's paid area; buy contactlessly on board instead and nothing prints - the ticket is encoded on your payment card.
Polish city transport runs on time-based tickets, and validation is on you.
- A paper ticket must be validated in the yellow validator immediately after boarding, or before entering the metro's paid area.
- In modern vehicles, buy contactlessly at the on-board terminal - nothing is printed, and the ticket is encoded on your payment card.
The apps worth having:
- Jakdojade - the standard public transport navigation app for every larger Polish city, with real-time journey search and direct purchase of city tickets.
- KOLEO - the official platform for searching rail connections and buying PKP Intercity and regional tickets without a markup.
- SkyCash / moBiLET - city transport tickets and parking payments in urban zones.
- Uber / Bolt / FreeNow - approved ride-hailing, with a guaranteed price up front and cashless payment in the app.
