If 12 zlotych is too much for you, you might opt to play a bit of Russian roulette and not buy a tram ticket at all. When you board a tram, nobody checks to make sure you have a ticket. So how are the rules enforced? Officials board trams occasionally to check and see that everyone on board is an honest passenger. So, you might never get checked (we weren't). But if you're unlucky, we were warned of mysterious, unnamed dire consequences.

I fully realise that not everyone who uses the site is going to be a geopolitical psychologist, or even have a basic grasp of North, South, East and West.
