On most urban buses, there are no seats opposite the middle and rear doors. Stand against the window in this area. This protects both your pockets and your luggage. Also easier to get off in a crowded bus. Also applicable to some subway/metro cars.
This is just to give you a link to a most useful site that will help you get around the major Polish cities. I learnt about it from an American lady we met on a train to Gdansk only yesterday and owe her thanks for giving it to me. The site tells you in great detail how to get to any place within the city you might wish to visit by public transport or just walking. Our travel companion had found it very helpful, especially that there was also an English version of this marvellous guide. I hope you find it useful too. Here is the link:jakdojade.pl
Polish Railways (PKP) is the main train carrier in the coutry. It is devided into some firms that carry different kind of trains in Poland. The most popular and the fastest is Intercity (website down). Intercity trains link the biggest cities in the country and are not only the fastes but olso the most expensive.:-) When travelling between Warsaw and Krakow, Katowice, or Gdansk you will probably go by this kind of train.
Via the website of the Polish train company (PKP), it was very easy to make a planning.You can easily find al the connections and the time schedules.Mostly I used IC trains, because these trains do not stop so often, so travelling time is shorter.Via the website of the Polish Intercity company: www.intercity.com.pl/en/main, you should be able to make a reservation. But unfortunately it did not work from abroad.But like in my case a friendly Polish girl (thank you Anna) made these reservations for me, and then did send me the reservation forms.And the system works. Once you have your reservation, you have a wagon number and a seat number, you just have to present this reservation form at the conductor and pay the money to him.So no problems standing in line to get a ticket, no language problems at the ticket office.I
So for my Polish roundtrip, I had 4 reservation forms:On my day of arrival, I travelled from Warsaw to Krakow : - Warszawa Centralna - Krakow Glowny - travelling time : 2h55 - travelling distance : 292 km- price : 85 zl.Then from Krakow to Wroclaw :- Krakow Glowny - Wroclaw Glowny- travelling time : 3h39- travelling distance : 268 km- price : 80 zl.Then from Wroclaw to Poznan :- Wroclaw Glowny - Poznan Glowny- travelling time : 1h52- travelling distance : 165 km- price : 68 zl.And finally from Poznan back to Warsaw :- Poznan Glowny - Warszawa Centralna- travelling time : 2h56 - travelling distance : 306 km- price : 77 zl.So all this information could be found after an easy search on the web, which made it very easy to plan my trip.
Even on the train there was a good service, as shortly after the train left the station, a man passed by with drinks.First I thought he was selling drinks.No no he was bringing free drinks, you could get coffee, tea, orange juice or water. With this drink he also gave a snack a chocolate waffle.But this was only the case on the IC-trains, like from Poznan to Warsaw, it was an EC-train and there you needed to pay for your drink.
