The city authorities are diligently working to bring the roads and transportation system up to European standards, so public transport in Gdansk is excellent.
This includes trolleybuses, buses, trams, and route taxis. Most of them operate from 5 am to 11 pm. They are all new, vibrant, comfortable, and affordable.
Here's an unexpected tip for tourists regarding transportation in Gdansk: choose trams for getting around. They run frequently (unlike buses, which have their own schedules for each route) from early morning until late evening, and you're guaranteed to avoid getting stuck in traffic jams.
A single ride on a bus or tram costs 4.80 PLN — this ticket is valid for 75 minutes with transfers allowed. Children under 16 and seniors over 70 pay 2.40 PLN; children under 4 travel free of charge.
The daily pass for all public transport costs 22 PLN for a 24-hour ticket, valid on buses, trams, SKM trains, as well as in Sopot and Gdynia.
