At the beginning of September, we reported that during the August session of the City Council, councillors approved new fares for passenger transport on MZK lines. The regular single ticket will become 20 groszy more expensive. It will cost 2.10 zł. The discounted ticket will be 10 groszy more expensive (1.05 zł) – only for students and veterans. Other people will pay 1.30 zł for a discounted ticket.
Passengers will pay 4 zł more for regular named monthly tickets within the city: up to 5 km (52 zł) and from 5 to 10 km (66 zł), and 2 zł more for discounted tickets (26 and 33 zł).
Periodic and network tickets will also become more expensive. A regular ticket for the urban network within Bolesławiec will increase by 4 zł and cost 72 zł, while the discounted ticket will be 2 zł more expensive (36 zł). Meanwhile, a regular quarterly ticket for the urban network within the city of Bolesławiec will cost 14 zł more (194 zł), and the discounted version will cost 7 zł more (97 zł).
The 24-hour ticket will also become more expensive. Its price will be: 8 zł (regular) and 4 zł (discounted).
The resolution’s justification states: “The reasons for introducing the ticket price increase are inflation, rising fuel and VAT prices, and higher energy costs. The last ticket price increase took place in 2008. [...] The average fuel price, which has the greatest impact on transport costs, has risen by 30% since the last increase, cumulative inflation since 2008 is more than 12%, while the ticket price is rising from 1.90 zł to 2.10 zł, i.e. by 10.5%.”
The new prices will apply from October 29.
