Bus by arantha
Bus is the most popular type of transportation in Katowice, as there is a lot of lines and they go almost everywhere. Timetables are on every bus stop so you can easy check the hours and destination you are interested in.You can buy ticket in small shops called KIOSK or KIOSK RUCHU, or inside the vehicle from the bus driver, but this way is far more expensive. The prices of tickets depends on the lenght of your journey and your status - students, children and pensioners buy only one ticket. Others - two tickets. If you are traveling between two cities you should pay like for two tickets designed for you (eg. students, children and pensioners buy 2 tickets, others - four). For the big luggage (like e.g. rucksack) you should buy 2 tickets.
After buing the ticket you should punch it inside the vehicle in the special box. Otherwise in case of control you will pay the fine. The ticket-inspectors dress ordinary, so you can't recognize them before they will ask you for your ticket. They are not in every bus and not everyday, but there is a possibility you will meet them especially in the beginning of the month.
Some buses are prepared for disabled but not all of them, so if you are disabled it's better for you to take a taxi.
The online timetable is only in Polish, but I recommend it to all Polish speaking tourists.
