Choosing your city in Wiesz Kiedy: 32 cities and metro areas, switching and travelling
How to choose and switch the city in Wiesz Kiedy, which cities have live vehicles, how metropolitan areas work (the Tricity, the GZM metropolis) and what the app does when you are in another city.
Wiesz Kiedy covers 32 cities and metropolitan areas in Poland; with the towns around them that is over 50 places to choose from. Here is how choosing a city works.
On first launch
The app asks you to choose a city and downloads its timetable. You can:
- type the name in Search for a city, including smaller towns such as “Gdynia” or “Wieliczka”,
- tap Use my location and the app shows the cities Nearby.
Each city shows what is available: Timetable and live vehicles or Timetable. The full list is on the timetables page.
Metro areas: one city, many towns
Some “cities” in Wiesz Kiedy are whole metropolitan areas with one timetable:
- the Tricity is Gdańsk, Gdynia, Sopot and the area around them,
- the GZM metropolis is Katowice and dozens of towns in Upper Silesia and Zagłębie,
- big cities such as Kraków and Warsaw include suburban lines too.
Choose once, and departures and routes work across the whole area. For a smaller town the app shows which area it belongs to, e.g. “Sopot · Tricity”.
Switching city
Open Settings → City and tap Change. The app downloads the new city's timetable; on Wi-Fi it takes a few seconds. Each city's favourite stops and saved places stay on your phone.
When you are in another city
If your location shows you are somewhere other than the city set in the app, it asks: “Switch city?”. One tap switches you to the local departures and vehicles, or you can stay with your own city.
Travelling: prepare on Wi-Fi
Going away for the weekend? Switch the city while still at home and download the offline map in Settings → Data and offline. Then everything works on arrival even without internet. Details in offline mode.
Trains nearby
In some cities the planner can use regional trains too. Turn it on in the planner settings (Trains in the planner); the timetable download is then bigger.
Your city is not on the list?
We add cities whose operators publish their timetable as open data. Write to support@wieszkiedy.pl with the city you would like to see; it helps us decide the order.
