By Bus Or Trolleybus
In the city center or the Old Town you can easily reach every place worth seeing on foot. You can also use the public transport. It's worth to try a trolleybus ride, especially the "tourist" route â156 â from the Majdanek Concentration Camp, near Old Town and Chachmei Lublin Yeshiva. The city has 50 bus lines and 8 trolleybus lines served by MPK. There's also commercial city transport buses with Komunikacja prywatna or AKL signs.
To use the public transport (http://www.mpk.lublin.pl/...) you should buy your tickets in a "kiosk" - such "kiosks" are usually situated near bus stops - or on the bus exact change required. The price system for MPK municipal buses is following: a single ride ticket costs 2.40 zÅ, students with ISIC identification pay 1.20 zÅ. You must validate your ticket immediately upon getting on the bus. In the private buses, marked as AKL, you pay for the ticket in the bus 1.50 zÅ full fare and 1.00 zÅ for student with ISIC. Children below 4 can use public transport for free. When changing buses, you need to validate another ticket they are valid only for one ride each. Of use to tourists, there are also 24-hour tickets 11 zÅ / 5.5 zÅ. Timetables for both can be found at the link above.
