Karnet

MPK SA w Krakowie
Languages: Polish (with a tiny bit of English)
Content: The official site of the Municipal Transport Company. Contains otherwise difficult to obtain up-to-date information on bus and tram timetables and ticket prices. Getting to the maps can be tough for non-Polish-speakers. They are under the "Mapki komunikacyjne" button. Then, from the left-hand navigation bar, you need to choose whether you want busses (autobusowe) or trams (tramwajowe) or night buses (nocna) and then, from the left-hand navigation again, whether you want low-resolution (niska) or high-resolution (wysoka) maps.
