Editor’s Note

Although taking the AP bus from Katowice Airport to the train station is a cheap transfer option, there's no luggage storage and buses get very crowded. So, I suggest only taking this transfer option if you don't have large luggage items or small children.

Useful Tips

You can purchase your bus tickets from the machines inside Terminal C or from your driver as you get on the bus.
Be sure to bring the exact change for your bus ticket as the drivers don't often have change for large notes.
