September 22 is a perfect day for free riders, because today is the European Car Free Day. On this occasion, many Polish city authorities provide free city transport.

European Sustainable Transport Week

ETZT runs from September 16 to 22. Its culminating point is the last day of the campaign, a day without a car. The motto of the week is "Switch and go". ETZT promotes ecological means of public transport such as bicycles, pedestrians, but also multimodal transport. The aim of this campaign is to show the many benefits of various transport, e.g. saving money and time, but also many benefits for our health. The event is taking place in Poland for the 17th time.

A day without a car in Warsaw

On Saturday, in the capital city, everyone can use free transport in two zones. In addition, until the end of the day, everyone can also use the free entrance to the P + R car park. The Warsaw Commuter Railway also joined the action and informed that regardless of the route and travel time, the journeys are free of charge.

Warsaw is not alone

Gdańsk and the entire Metropolitan Transport Association of the Bay of Gdańsk also offer free transport for all passengers who have a valid passenger vehicle registration certificate and are its owners or co-owners. Wrocław is also on par with other Polish cities and also offers free public transport within the city, but also in some neighboring communes. Additionally, on September 22, Wrocław is organizing a picnic called "Car-Free Day at Plac Solny". There are numerous attractions planned during the picnic.
