Get ready, Poznań – the tram prices are on the rise, and it’s a slap in the face for every working person just trying to make ends meet. The city’s big boss has decided it’s time to jack up the cost of public transport, with a 15-minute ticket jumping from 4 PLN to 5 PLN. And this, while folks are already getting hit with insane food prices? This isn’t helping – it’s piling on more pressure.
But here’s the kicker: in Warsaw, a 75-minute tram ticket costs 4.40 PLN. Yeah, you read that right. The capital – one of the most expensive cities in the country – offers more value than Poznań, where soon 5 PLN will get you a measly 15 minutes. This is Poznań, where every złoty counts for regular people, and instead of throwing us a lifeline, the city’s throwing us to the wolves.
Even expect your monthly ticket to go from 149 PLN to 199 PLN. We’re talking a 30% hike for commuters.
So here we are, staring down more bills, less money, and the same promises that “it’s for the better.” Meanwhile, inflation keeps eating up every little paycheck and the cost of just getting around goes through the roof.
