304 already on the road

Since 1st May our town can be reached directly from the centre of Cracow thanks to the new public communication bus no. 304. It is an express bus and it stops - beginning with the Main Railway Station West (the Shopping Mall) - on the following bus stops:Teatr Bagatela (the Bagatela Theatre), Filharmonia (the Philharmonia),pl.Wolnica (the Wolnica Square),Korona, Bieżanowska St, Prokocim Szpital (the Prokocim Hospital), Wieliczka Kopalnia Soli (the Wieliczka Salt Mine),Wieliczka Rynek (the Wieliczka Main Square), Wieliczka (the terminus for the buses "204").


The agglomeration bus route no.304 is operated by the private transporter - the Warsaw-based Mobilis firm.
The project of activation of the new bus route to Wieliczka is being carried out by the Cracow Town Office in agreement with and with the financial assistance of our municipality.

The Wieliczka residents have since long expressed the need to be able to reach the centre of Cracow by the means of public transport and finally it has become a fact.
There's an inconvenience in store however for the residents of the Kościuszko housing area, because "304" does not stop on the stop at the Krakowska St.

The Cracow Town Office, which signed the contract with the Mobilis firm, explains that generally, the civic buses should not duplicate, and that "204" already stops on that bus stop.
Mayor of Wieliczka, Artur Kozioł, shall reiterate his endeavours to make the Cracow authorities change their decision in this respect.
The difficulties concerning introduction of possible changes in the timetable of buses no. 304 are related to the fact that "the new communication solutions in the Wieliczka area are being introduced not by the municipality of Wieliczka itself but in collaboration with Cracow and as far as designation of the bus stops goes, it is not our municipality that has the final word here”, mayor Artur Kozioł stresses.

The buses no.304 on the road from 1st May do not stand out as far the standard is concerned from the other MPK (the Civic Communication Company) buses, however from June, the Mobilis firm, in acccordance with the conditions of the bidding, shall introduce Italian buses with air conditioning, ticket vending machines and low floor.
