    Rickshaw may not be the way to get to Lodz, but it's certainly the way to get along the city's long main street Piotrkowska.

    Lodz has 2 main train stations, Lodz Fabryczna (in my photo)& Lodz Kaliska.

    Generally, Fabryczna handles trains for Krakow, Katowice, Czestochowa and a service to Warsaw which is faster than the one from Kaliska.

    Kaliska handles trains to Poznan, Wroclaw, Torun, Gdansk, Bydgoszcz, Warsaw.

    The PKS bus station is next to Fabryczna train station. Among regular services to cities throughout Poland are 7 buses daily to Warsaw (134 km)& 3 to Krakow (237 km).

  • Lodz Public Transport
    Students who have a student's identity card issued by the Dean's Office get a 50% discount in the city transport. Tickets are not available from the vehicle drivers. For a single journey on a city bus or tram, you can buy a single fare ticket at most newsstands (price: 0,7 PLN); you need to have it stamped on a tram/bus. The ticket remains valid for a half-hour's journey in town, including changes of tram/bus.

    You will probably be using city buses or trams more regularly. Then you are better off buying a monthly pass (you should provide a passport-size photograph) from several public transport stalls, located all over the city. For those who hold a student's ID such a ticket for all tram and bus lines in the city costs ....(less than 10 USD).

  • When you are tired of walking up and down Piotrkowska Street, the main artery of the city you might like to rent a bycicle rishkah - they became a tourist attraction (and extra income for some students) some years ago

    RAILWAY SERVICE - Lodz has frequent and fast connections with the capital city of Warsaw (travel time : 1 hour 40 minutes), and with other cities in Poland. It has two railway stations : Lodz-Fabryczna - almost in the centre of Lodz, and Lodz-Kaliska that has been recently thoroughly modernized and where international transit trains that go from Warsaw via Lodz to Wroclaw and then to the Czech Republic and Germany are passing through.
    MUNICIPAL TRANSPORT SERVICES.
    This is based on tram and bus connections. It has at its disposal 519 trams, 406 buses and 13 special buses which are adapted to transporting handicapped persons. Bus no. 95 will get you to my place.

  • Lodz has 2 main train stations : Lodz Kaliska (to the west of teh centre) and Lodz Fabryczna (to the east). The two stations are not linked by rail and whilst they do handle some trains to the same destinations they tend to handle trains going to destinations independant of one another.

    Leaving Lodz, if travelling to Warsaw, it is better to use Lodz Fabryczna because there are more frequent and faster trains than from Lodz Kaliska.

  • Train would be the best means of transportation inside Poland. And the best way to get to Lodz as well. You can catch direct trains from Berlin, Frankfurt-upon-Oder and Dresden in Germany, from Wroclaw, Warsaw and Torun in Poland (I name only the major cities), from Moscow in Russia, Brest and Minsk in Belarus. If you are staying in a minor town, consider taking a bus.
