Renovations of viaducts in Sosnowiec. Numerous changes in public transport

On March 15, changes to public transport will come into effect in Sosnowiec. They are related to the renovation of railway viaducts. Traffic will be restored under one of them – on ul. Piłsudskiego, while traffic will be suspended under the other – on ul. Żeromskiego. The changes will cover almost 30 tram and bus lines.

PKP PLK's investment works have a direct impact on how our trams and buses can run. This time, i.e. for their next stage, it was necessary to adapt the operation of 10 tram lines and 16 bus lines. Some of the changes will be in effect from March 15, others from March 18.

In the case of tram transport, passengers should note that some of the changes introduced on March 15 will be in effect until March 17, and others until further notice. The former include, among others, the modification of the routes of lines 15 and 21. In addition, a temporary replacement bus line Z-15 will be launched. Until further notice, new timetables for tram lines 14, 22, 24 and 34 and the new route of line 27 will apply. At the same time, line 45 will be suspended, lines 26 and 47 will be launched, and the route of the replacement bus line Z-21 will change.

Another important date for passengers using trams will be March 18. At that time, among other things, the routes of lines 15 (which returns to its permanent route) and 21 will change again.
In the case of bus transport, it is worth mentioning the restoration of the permanent routes of 9 bus lines: M4, M17, 91, 299, 723, 808, 813, 835 and 902N. In addition, the routes of 5 lines will change - 26, 35, 88, 100 and 935, whose buses pass under the railway viaduct running over Żeromskiego Street on a daily basis. These modifications will be introduced on March 15.
Transfers between trams and buses will be possible at the Będzin Cmentarz Komunalny, Sosnowiec Al. Zwycięstwa and Sosnowiec Dworzec PKP stops.
Full information about the changes, including detailed detour routes and new timetables, is available on the Transport GZM website with timetables, in the Announcements tab.

Renovations, failures? We extend the validity period of some tickets

No more worries about your ticket when changing trains or walking to the stop to continue your journey. We have changed the Transport Tariff and introduced significant changes for passengers who use single/short-term and package tickets.

Investments, reconstructions, and failures require not only changes to the timetables of buses, trams, and trolleybuses of Transport GZM, but also ongoing adjustments to the Transport Tariff to the needs of passengers. That is why on Sunday (9 March) we introduced an extension of the validity period of some tickets in certain situations. So far, this solution was in force in Katowice due to the reconstruction of railway viaducts. Now, the scope of validity is being extended to the entire Transport GZM network.

Passengers using single/short-term tickets and package tickets will be able to continue their journey within the validity period of these tickets or on the basis of a journey in a package ticket on the same line or another line that runs in a similar direction, in the event of:

• when the travel route has changed as a result of, for example, renovation. In particular, we are talking here about the need to change buses, change the means of transport, change the location of the stop, shorten the line;

• the need to use substitute transport;

• breakdown, damage to the vehicle while driving.

 

The change means that, for example, during the reconstruction of railway viaducts, the validity period of a 40-minute ticket will be extended by the minutes we spent changing to another bus, which we have to use because of the renovation.

The updated text of the Transport Tariff can be found on the transportgzm.pl website in the "Tickets" tab.

Wciąż rośnie popularność minibusów. ZTM ogłasza przetarg i zapowiada uruchomienie kolejnych takich linii

ZTM has announced a tender for the implementation of minibus connections. These types of transport are developing the fastest in GZM. In 6 years, the number of minibus lines has increased by more than half.

The popularity of minibuses is constantly growing. Minibus lines are a beneficial solution for both passengers and municipalities. Passengers living in areas that cannot be served by standard buses due to road restrictions gain access to public transport thanks to them. Smaller vehicles can easily pass through, for example, narrow streets or tight intersections. In turn, for the local government, minibus lines are a financially beneficial solution, because the cost of maintaining them is lower than standard lines.

In 2019, there were 34 minibuses in GZM. In the area of ​​22 municipalities, they traveled about 2.7 million kilometers. In 2024, there were already 52 minibus lines, and buses traveled about 3.9 million kilometers on them in 27 municipalities. In each of these categories, an upward trend can be seen – by 53%, 42% and 23% respectively.

Over the next few months, the above-mentioned numbers are to increase again. The level of operational work (the number of kilometres covered by buses) in 2025 is to exceed 4 million vehicle-kilometres. According to estimates, in 2023 and 2024, approximately 3.2 and 3.3 million passengers used the minibus lines, respectively. ZTM assumes that thanks to the increase in operational work, approximately 5 million passengers will use the minibus lines in 2025.

However, before the details regarding the launch of new minibus lines are known, ZTM has announced a tender for the implementation of minibus connections on the existing replacement minibus line, the route of which runs through Katowice and Mysłowice. Bidders can apply for the tender until 9 a.m. on 14 March. The contract assumes the implementation of almost 81 thousand vehicle-kilometres. The minibuses must not be longer than 8 meters and must have at least 35 seats, including at least 11 seated. The service is scheduled to start on April 26, 2025, and end on January 31, 2026.
