Public transport in Poznań

Public transport in the city of Poznań is organized by Zarząd Transportu Miejskiego (ZTM) - Urban Transport Authority. Trams are the core of the system, bus lines are complementary to the tram network. This solution encourage passengers to change lines, offering high frequency connections with changes, instead of low frequency direct connections. It also makes the network less extensive and complicated to passengers.

Companies

Services for ZTM are provided by a few different companies. The biggest one is MPK Poznań Sp. z o.o. (Urban Transport Company in Poznań). The public transport system in Poznań consists of: tram and bus lines. ZTM tickets are vaild only on the lines managed by ZTM.  They are marked by this sign:

Tickets

tPurse on the PEKA Card:  fare depends on the number of stops travelled - the first stop costs 0.72 zl. If the total cost of journeys made during one day exceeds the value of a 24-hour ticket (15 zł for A Zone - the standard price), no more funds will be taken from the tPurse – until the end of the day. When a passenger uses the tPurse to pay for the journey and changes the line numer within 20 minutes (the time is counted from a moment the passenger puts the PEKA Card to a card reader in the vehicle passenger gets out and another vehicle the passenger gets in), the fare for the stops travelled is counted as for one journey. It means that the fare is not counted as if it was for the first stop but if it was the next stop. The maximum number of changes allowed during one journey is 3. Remember to put the PEKA Card to the card-reader every time when you get on and get off the vehicles!

time tickets: up to 15 minutes (4 zł), up to 45 minutes (6 zł) or up to 90 minutes (8 zł): entitle to an unlimited number of journeys in a period not longer than 15, 45 or 90 minutes since it was validated, with as many changes of lines as necessary. This is a bearer ticket.

short-term tickets: entitle to many journeys within a specified number of hours or days from its validation, with an unlimited number of changes made during its validity period. Short-term tickets include the following types: 24-hour (1 day) ticket for A zone which costs 15 zł or for A+B+C+D zone which costs 20 zł, 7-days ticket for A Zone which costs 50 zł or 7-days ticket for A+B+C+D Zone which costs 80 zł.

season tickets: can be bought only on the PEKA Card and are valid in any chosen area (look below at tariff zones) and for the selected number of days – from 14 to 366 (network tickets) and from 14 to 90 days (route ticket). Using a season ticket, the passenger doesn’t have to put PEKA Card to the card-reader when enters and exits the tram or bus.
