Buses

The public bus system in Białystok is highly convenient and generally on time. Google Maps can be a valuable tool to help you find the optimal route that is suitable with your schedule.

Remember to always buy a ticket, as there are frequent random ticket inspections. If caught without a valid ticket, you may be fined 200zł. If you want to buy your ticket by app, SkyCash is the app used by most locals.

Buses

Taking the bus is a convenient and efficient way to travel long-distance. It is also worth mentioning that there is a bus station at Chopin International Airport, which provides an ideal option for travel from the airport directly to Białystok. To purchase bus tickets for long-distance trips, you can check Flixbus App › or Busradar.com ›

Trains

Train is also an excellent option for long-distance journeys, especially considering the 51% discount available for students under 26 years old holding a valid student card.

Direct connections by bus

At the airport, they print a sheet of all available buses leaving and coming to the station. Below, we've photographed the sheet for you.

We recommend visiting the provider's website and booking a seat beforehand, if that can be arranged. Especially when coming from Warsaw to Białystok. Many locals book their tickets in advance, and there's a chance that a bus is fully booked out by the time it arrives at the station and won't allow you aboard (esp. the afternoon connections).
