Cracow - Getting Around
Public Transport
Bus and tram tickets are cheap, but if a change of vehicle is required, it's better to buy a one-hour ticket. The charge for buses that cross the city limits is higher. Night buses are also available but cost a bit more. Tickets may be purchased at kiosks or retail outlets, or from the driver (although this costs extra) and should be punched in the boxes inside the bus or tram. Additionally, a ticket must be punched for each large piece of luggage (free with a pass).
Passes are available for one, two or three days, or for one month. Students will be offered a reduction on standard prices upon presentation of an ISIC card. Anyone caught without a valid ticket will receive an on-the-spot fine.
Taxis
It is usually cheapest to order a taxi by telephone. Reputable companies include: Barbakan Taxi (tel: (012) 9661), Express Taxi (tel: 0800 111 111), Lajkonik Taxi (tel: (012) 9628) and Radio Taxi (tel: (012) 9696, 0800 500 919). It is a good idea to check how much the trip will cost before entering the taxi. Rates go up after 2200 and on Sundays. There is no baggage charge. Taxi drivers are not normally tipped unless they provide an extra service.
