Bus tickets in Krakow

I'll stay in Krakow for a few days next month and my hotel is a bit far from my work place.

I plan to use the buses but it looks uncertain to me, from what I have found that some bus stops are equipped with tickets machines, but I do not know which ones. I have also seen that a company (MPK) seems to provide tickets for the area, but I'm not sure it's compatible with the regular buses.

Is there a way to pre-order tickets or points to buy it by cash?

Best Answer

Nowadays you can buy a ticket in virtually every bus or tram (just be sure to enter the first coach). Be aware that some of them only accept credit cards, some only coins and finally there are some that accept any payment.

You can also buy tickets through several applications, I'm normally using SkyCash - you have to provide your credit card number in advance and create an account, then you can buy your ticket when entering the bus (just remember that you have to be on-line to do that).
