Wroclaw has a good public transport system with trams (18 different routes) and buses (70 different routes). There is a regular day time bus service (buses with numbers: 100 149) and a fast day time bus service (buses marked with letters: A,C,D,E,K,N and appearing in red in the bus schedules; tickets for these buses are more expensive). Buses operating on the outskirts of Wroclaw have the numbers from 604 to 623. There is no night time tram service but there are night buses marked in black on the schedule with numbers from 240 to 259 that circulate once an hour. The bus and tram tickets are exactly the same and they can be purchased at the newsagents’ and in the automatic dispensers. At night and on Public holidays and Sundays tickets can be purchased directly from the bus drivers. In order to purchase the tickets on the bus small change is required as the drivers don’t have change.The tickets are invalid until they are validated in the machines aboard. Once the ticket is validated, on its reverse side the date when the ticket was validated appears. All the tickets are single and one trip can be made using it, so every time by getting on the tram or a bus a NEW ticket needs to be validated.There are also special travel cards available that are valid 24 hours, 3 or 7 days and can be used on trams and buses. When travelling with a large suitcase or bag a separate single ticket needs to be validated. Children younger than 3 years old don’t require tickets.Attention: Look after your belongings when using public transport especially during peak times and also when getting on or off the trains.
There are numerous taxi stands in the city, but it is much cheaper to call a taxi by phone (dialling one of the numbers listed below). Taxis come without any additional cost to the address indicated. It is important to use only the taxis that are officially registered and in the same time avoiding the ones that don’t have names of the company on the side door or on top.
