If you come to Poznań more often, you may consider obtaining the PEKA card (find out more from ztm.poznan.pl). With the PEKA card, you use the so-called tPortmonetka application on your card, having previously topped it up at ZTM Customer Service Points, Ticket Sale Points, stationary ticket machines or online. The fee you pay depends on the number of stops you travel. A season ticket is also available - the shortest period available is two weeks.
The best option for a longer ride through the city or a few day long stay in Poznań is a 24-hours or a 3-days ticket. The other alternative is a Poznań City Card.
Aglomeration of Poznań is divided into 4 tariff zones. Paper tickets cover all of the zones. However, some suburban bus lines require a separate ticket, to buy from a driver. That is mostly when going to Kórnik, Rogalin, Swarzędz and few others.
The map below shows the district of Poznań where tariff zones are marked (colors: A - green, B - red, C - yellow, D - blue) and towns crossed by the bus lines organized by ZTM.
