I wasn’t intending to write this bus journey up, so I’ll admit that the photos aren’t quite as professional as I’d like. The bus stop is located by turning right after leaving the airport terminal, it’s right at the end although is clearly signed.
Given the poor quality of the imagery in this post, here’s a better quality photo from last year to add to proceedings.
Anyway, I digress. It’s possible to buy tickets on the bus, but there’s also a ticket machine and I prefer to use this when there’s time available to do so. It accepts cards and can be switched to English, with everything being self-explanatory.
One single ticket costs about 80p and it’s rather lovely that the authorities have made the decision not to take advantage of passengers here by surcharging the airport route. Other airports could perhaps make a similar decision….. I wasn’t intending to use an Uber, but I checked to see how much a journey would cost and it would have been around £8 which is probably a lot less hassle for those with luggage.
The bus was really quite busy on this occasion and although I got a seat as other passengers were faffing about buying a ticket on board, there were some left standing for the journey. It’s around a thirty minute journey to the city centre and the route ends up at the city’s railway station.
And the centre of Wrocław at around 02:00 in the morning. I wasn’t particularly trying to take a photo of the McDonald’s signage, just a night-time shot that came out blurrier than I wanted. I decided not to faff about any more, so that means this is another blog post that isn’t entirely optimal.
Anyway, this all meant that I arrived at the Ibis Hotel the earliest that I could have expected and I was once again delighted by the city’s transportation system. And I might take better photos next time.
