Public transportation in the Polish city of Wrocław dates back to 1840, when a horsebus route was established from the Market Square to the Popowice district. Today, Wrocław's mass transit is primarily made up of a system of buses, trams and trains, spread over an area of 290 km2 (113 square miles).
Current system
[edit]Trams
[edit]The network consists of 23 lines with a total track length of 84 kilometers (52 mi) and a combined line length of 258.2 kilometers (160.4 mi). It includes six depots and 20 turnarounds. All tram lines are operated by MPK Wrocław.
Buses
[edit]The bus system in Wrocław, in its fixed network, consists of 117 lines (48 regular, 4 express, 4 peak-hour, 3 suburban, 27 zonal, and 17 night lines[1], as well as 6 from the Siechnice municipality, 2 from the Czernica municipality[2][3], and 8 from the Kobierzyce municipality[4][5]). Additionally, there are also commercial lines.
Currently, bus lines are operated by various carriers, such as MPK Wrocław, DLA, Polbus, and others[6][7]. In addition to city lines maintained and designated by the municipality, there are also lines established and funded by large shopping centers[8].
Most of Wrocław's bus lines have three-digit numbers (with the exception of express lines, which are marked with a letter, and special lines to the stadium, marked with the letter "S" and a number, as well as night lines from neighboring municipalities marked with the letter "N" and two digits). The first digit indicates the type of the line:
- A-N – express lines (stop at selected stops along the route);
- Sx – special lines activated during events;
- Nxx - night lines (weekend) from neighboring municipalities not under the Department of Transport (N04, N11 – Długołęka, N62 – Kobierzyce);
- 1xx – regular lines;
- 2xx – night service;
- 3xx – peak-hour lines (operate only on weekdays during peak hours) and special lines activated on All Saints' Day;
- 4xx – unassigned (formerly designated for express lines);
- 5xx – commercial lines;
- 6xx – suburban lines;
- 7xx – substitute lines activated during repairs (most often "replacement for trams")
- 8xx – lines from neighboring municipalities not under the Department of Transport (8x0 – Siechnice, 8x2 – Kobierzyce, 8x5 – Czernica);
- 9xx – zonal lines.

Trains
[edit]The main rail station is Wrocław Główny, which is the largest railway station in Poland by the number of passengers served (21,2 million passengers a year), and perhaps the most important railroad junction alongside Warsaw Central station[9].
The station is supported by PKP Intercity, Polregio, Koleje Dolnośląskie and Leo Express. There are direct connections to Szczecin, Poznań, and to Warsaw Central through Łódź Fabryczna station. There is also a regular connection to Berlin Hauptbahnhof and Wien Hauptbahnhof (Vienna), as well as indirect to Praha hlavní nádraží (Prague) and Budapest-Nyugati with one transfer depending on the carrier.
Based on long-term (minimum 24-hour) public transportation tickets, it is possible to travel on trains of Koleje Dolnośląskie and Polregio between stations that have Wrocław in their name and the Iwiny railway stop[10].
Wrocław has a single commuter rail line, DKA1 (D70), which opened on December 12, 2021, as the first route of the planned Lower Silesian Agglomeration Railways. Since August 18, 2022, the line has been served by modern Elf 2 trains.
Air
[edit]The city is served by Wrocław Airport (IATA: WRO ICAO: EPWR) situated around 10 kilometers (6 miles) southwest from the city center. In 2019 over a 3.5 million passengers passed through the airport, placing it fifth on the list of busiest airports in Poland[11][12].
