Free rides on public transport

Where can I use free public transport?

Public transport operates efficiently in all major cities in Poland. This includes urban buses, trams, the metro in Warsaw, and trains, such as the rapid urban rail system (SKM). Students who have a student ID with a valid ELS hologram can purchase discounted tickets. However, it is important that the age of the ID holders does not exceed 26 years old.

When can you count on a free ride on public transport?

Every year in Poland, a Day Without a Car is celebrated. Its date falls on September 22. At that time, transportation in all cities is free. The aim is to encourage passengers to use public transport and to draw their attention to environmental protection. On other days, every passenger must have a cancelled ticket with them. If the ticket is checked by the ticket inspector and they do not have a cancelled proof of travel, they will be fined.

What impact does a student ID have on free public transport?

Any student with a valid ID can apply for discounts when purchasing public transport tickets. Additionally, a student ID can also be a city card. In some cities, the ID can also entitle you to free rides, but in most cities, especially the larger ones, fees are mandatory. However, the lack of free rides does not mean that a student or graduate has to give up collecting ELS holograms, or stickers on the student ID.
