Travelling by public bus from Katowice to Katowice airport in Pyrzowice, in addition to being an excellent way to safeguard the environment, is also a perfect way to save money.
All right, it is already well known that busses are a very cheap means of transport but when it comes to Katowice you should also know that as for the taxi in Katowice, there is no good service in the city, and moreover those few taxi drivers who are there fool the tourists all the time by asking them for too much money. Based on my personal experience I can only say that no one has ever used the taximeter in Katowice, and I’ve always had to argue.
Also taxi drivers in Katowice often don’t speak English. So, as you don’t understand each other, the conversation tends to become rude easily. Then it ends up that you pay the amount they ask because since you didn’t organize your trip beforehand, you now have no time to plan differently.
You have no idea how many useless arguments I had with taxi drivers in Katowice.

That being said, let me tell you something good. Katowice has an efficient network of public busses and trams that connects every part of the city perfectly. That includes the airport in Pyrzowice. Did you know that there is a direct bus route from the city to the airport? And it also has a USB port to charge mobile phones!!!
