Public Transport Guidelines - Everything you need to know.
Foreign tourists visiting Katowice find it very easy and convenient to get around the city and the Silesian Metropolis. The city is very well-connected and offers a wide range of transport services such as bus, tram or train.
The most convenient way to check the route, arrival time and purchase a ticket is the jakdojade website and app, which is available in English.
- You locate or type in the starting point (the address of the place or the name of the bus stop), then the destination point and select the departure or arrival time.
- The app will choose the most favorable connection for us and show us the various options for getting to the place by bus or tram. It works throughout the metropolis, so you can also visit nearby cities: Tychy, Chorzow, Gliwice, Pszczyna, Sosnowiec, etc.

Tickets are timed: for 20, 40 and 90 minutes and cost about PLN 2.0-6.5, EUR 0.5-2.0. There are two types of tickets: normal (for everyone) and concessionary for people who are subject to various concessions (students, students under 26, senior citizens, veterans, etc.).
