International airport Warsaw Frederic Chopin Airport (polish: Lotnisko Chopina w Warszawie) (IATA: WAW, ICAO: EPWA) is an international airport located in the Wlochy district of Warsaw, Poland. Formerly Okęcie International Airport, it is named after the famous Polish composer and former Warsaw resident, Frederic Chopin. It is Poland's busiest airport, handling just under 50% of the country's air passenger traffic3 The former name, lotnisko Okęcie (Okęcie airport), remains in common use, including air traffic and aerodrome references. Warsaw Airport handles approximately 300 scheduled flights daily and an ever rising number of charters. London, Frankford, Paris and Amsterdam are the busiest international connections, while Krakow, Wroclaw and Gdansk are the most popular domestic ones4 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warsaw_Fr%C3%A9d%C3%A9ric_Chopin_Airport
Public transportation A bus (archaically also omnibus, multibus, or autobus) is a road vehicle designed to carry passengers. Buses have a capacity as high as 300 passengers.[1] The most common type of bus is the single-decker bus, with larger loads carried by double-decker buses and articulated buses, and smaller loads carried by midibuses and minibuses; coaches are used for longer distance services. Bus manufacturing is increasingly globalised, with the same design appearing around the world. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bus
Public transportation Trams are usually lighter and shorter than conventional trains and rapid transit trains. However, the differences between these modes of public transportation are confusing. Some trams (for instance Tram-Trains) may also run on ordinary railway tracks, a tramway may be upgraded to a light rail or a rapid transit line, two urban tramways may be united to an interurban, etc. Most trams today use electrical power, usually fed by a pantograph; in some cases by a third rail or trolley pole. If necessary, they may have several power systems. Certain types of cable car are also known as trams. Another power source is diesel; a few trams use electricity in the streets and diesel in more rural environments. Also steam and petrol (gasoline) have been used. Horse and mule driven trams do still occur. Tramways are now included in the wider term "light rail", which also includes segregated systems. Some systems have both segregated and street-running sections, but are usually then referred to as trams, because it is the equipment for street-running which tends to be the decisive factor. Vehicles on wholly segregated light rail systems are generally called trains, although cases have been known of "trains" built for a segregated system being sold to new owners and becoming "trams". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tram
Public Transportation The Warsaw Metro (Polish: Metro warszawskie) is a rapid transit system serving the city of Warsaw, the capital of Poland. It consists of a single north-south line that links central Warsaw with its densely populated northern and southern suburbs. The first section was opened in 1995, then gradually extended until it reached full planned length in October 2008. There are plans to add two stations omitted during construction in the next few years. The contract for building the initial section of the second,[1] east-west line was signed on 28 October 2009 and construction started on 16 August 2010,[2] with completion planned for late 2013. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warsaw_Metro
Light rail Warszawska Kolej Dojazdowa (Warsaw Commuter Railway, WKD) is a suburban light rail line in Poland's capital city of Warsaw. The line, together with its two branches, links Warsaw with the municipalities of Michałowice, Pruszków, Brwinów, Podkowa Leśna, Milanówek and Grodzisk Mazowiecki to the south-west of Warsaw. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warszawska_Kolej_Dojazdowa
Regional rail The company was founded in 2004 as a joint venture of the Masovian Voivodeship, with 51% shares, and the, then government-owned, PKP Przewozy Regionalne, with 49% shares, to handle local passenger traffic in the Voivodeship. Its services were inaugurated on January 1, 2005. By the end of 2007 Koleje Mazowieckie was completely owned by the Masovian Voivodeship http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koleje_Mazowieckie
