Krakow City Card

First Krakow City Card vending machines appeared in the streets of Krakow in September 2007. With them, buying tickets in Krakow became much simpler and easier, as now every passenger can do it on their own at any time of night and day.
Krakow City Cards (KKM) can be topped up in 76 vending machines by independently selecting the ticket type and its validity period.

The machines accept cash (PLN) both in the form of coins as well as banknotes. Change is given only on coins.
Additionally, in order to make topping up of cards in vending machines even easier, 37 of them also accept payment cards. Vending machine locations

Other than extending the validity of season tickets, all tickets available for sale can also be purchased from the vending machines.

The Krakow City Card system was launched within the framework of EU IRDOP, whose independent beneficiary was Miejskie Przedsiębiorstwo Komunikacyjne S.A. (Municipal Transport Company) in Krakow. The KKM system includes 62 vending machines, 300 thousand cards and 80 readers for controlling those. The purchase cost of all the equipment amounted to PLN 9.2 million. As much as 75 per cent of the project value has been financed with EU funds, while the remaining 25 per cent has been paid by MPK S.A.
