Chrzanów, a town in Lesser Poland between Kraków and Katowice, has buses organized by the inter-communal union ZKKM Chrzanów. The prices below come from the ZKKM single-ticket price list, an annex to board resolution 13/05/2026 of 27 May 2026, checked on 20 October 2026.

Single, time and day tickets

A 10-ride carnet with an eleventh ride free costs PLN 42.00 normal and PLN 21.00 reduced for one commune, or PLN 52.00 and PLN 26.00 for the 40-minute version. Tickets are valid only in the vehicle where they were validated, except time tickets, which allow transfers.

Buying tickets

The driver sells only the PLN 6.00 normal and PLN 3.00 reduced tickets, and only while stopped at a stop, accepting coins and notes from 50 groszy to PLN 20. The wider range is available at stationary sales points, in ticket machines, in mobile apps and through the ZKKM electronic validator, where you can pay with the ZKKM City Card, a contactless payment card or a phone with NFC.

For app tickets, top up and buy before you board, then validate immediately after boarding. A ticket bought in the app only once an inspection has started is not valid.

Carrying baggage, a bicycle, a pram or sports equipment costs the price of a normal single ticket for one commune. A child under 4 travels free with a pram, and pupils and students carry portable musical instruments free.
