Taxis

Not the dodgy enterprise it once was, most taxis are reliable and use their metres without any fiddling around, but beware of the cowboys sometimes waiting outside the train station and some clubs. Make sure you choose a clearly marked cab with a company name and phone number displayed and a sticker demarcating prices in the window. Taxis are now legally obliged to give you a printed receipt at journey's end further limiting the likelihood of any funny business. There is a taxi rank across the square from the main train station on ul. Pawia (D-2) or walk up the stairs from the platforms to find reliable Radio Taxi 19191 on the rooftop parking lot. Expect to pay 7zł plus about 2.30zł per kilometre. At night expect to pay up to 50% more for the pleasure. Whether or not to tip your taxi driver is a bit of a point of contention. Many Poles do not consider taxis a service that necessitates a tip and thereby, if you're Polish, the driver may not expect one. But double standards being what they are, it's anticipated that foreigners will leave a tip, in which case 10% is appropriate, or simply rounding up the bill. We leave it to you.
