1. Chopin Airport), is NOT located about 16 miles south of the city center. It’s some 7 kilometers, say 5 miles, south of the city center.
2. Szybka Kolej Miejska is NOT a subway system, it’s a rail operator providing services in and around Warsaw using the national surface rail lines.
3. To get from Modlin Airport to the city by train, you should first take a shuttle bus from the airport to Modlin station.
4. PolskiBus and Flixbus are no longer TWO bus companies. They merged a few years ago, and operate as Flixbus.
5. The section title “Subway fare & fines” is highly misleading. The tickets you mention ave valid on metro (subway) as well as on trams and buses. There also are 24 hour, 3 day and weekend tickets.

Here’s my clearest memory of Warsaw, 15 years ago: We needed to catch a train so we went to the station, of course. I tried to buy tickets but the woman at the counter kept refusing to sell them to me, saying something I couldn’t understand. We were both becoming more nervous. Finally she flagged down a young woman of college age and learned that she spoke English. The translation: you’re in the wrong building; international trains depart from the building next door and tickets for them are sold there. We managed to catch the right train, with only a few minutes to spare. (We really liked Warsaw. I think the most amazing thing to me was the reconstructed “old town.” We would never had guessed it wasn’t hundreds of years old.
