It is really nice, but it's also worth noting that we have received huge funding from the EU - we of course had to have good plans and some funding of our own, but a lot of infrastructure was 50% or even 75% funded by the EU. That was EU's investment into building a new strong economy in this area to strengthen the whole alliance and boost productivity, but a lot of ordinary people benefit from those high-level long-term policies without knowing how lucky we are. Many of the countries in Europe where people are bashing the infrastructure didn't get funds or even have negative net gain in direct payments to the EU, but this is all towards speedrunning the development of the whole continent therefore they fund it for now. And it works :)
Polish metro stations are really clean and beautifully done! Also there is air conditioning as a standard feature not like in the UK…Poland is definitely one of the best places to live right now 💯🇵🇱
It is nice, but there is no air conditioning actually. Only Skoda have it but I do not think it’s on as it feels like any other train. The temperatures are bearable only due to interesting ventilation system!
So so nice and clean metro in lovely beautiful capital of Poland 🇵🇱 ❤️ Warsaw. Not like in London Paris or Berlin mate. Godbless. Nice movie. Nice content. Enjoy in lovely beautiful Warsaw mate. Take care. Greetings from Leicester 🇬🇧. All the best mate.
Those capitals which were once great cities really can't compete when it comes to liveability with Warsaw. Thanks for your support mate I really appreciate it!
Warsaw it not that liveable - when you live on metro line - yes - but there only 39 stations. Plus half of year you have smog and polluted air. And cost of metro maintenance is already a pain for car-loving right-wing folks demanding to cut spending on public transport. The reason it is nice is because it is small and no one started cost cutting on it yet. But eventually it will happen and then it will look the same as elsewhere.

I've never seen any racism in Poland. I've met people of all colours and creeds in Poland and shared beers with everyone with Poles too. Nobody has ever had a problem with anyone else. So long as everyone is respectful there's never any trouble.
Nice job. I have been trying to get to Warsaw for vacation for some time now, and I love exploring public transit in different cities. Plan is to make it there in the next year. You're inspiring me. Thanks for posting.
I didn't think we had such a beautiful metro - shocking, everywhere in every station there are walls and floors made of marble tiles... - Vienna should learn what the metro should look like
Unfortunately our government does not really support the Border Guard and politicians have been caught lying many times. The brave Border Guard is fighting not only against illegal immigrants but also against some Polish media and activists who come to the border trying to help these bandits get into Polish territory. The situation in Poland is currently OK but some people are trying their best to change it. Recently there was even an idea to pay illegal immigrants to leave the country just like in Sweden. Fortunately the idea was rejected relatively quickly after people's reaction but this only shows that the government is increasingly willing to accept all illegal immigrants. Sorry for my poor English but I wanted to write it somehow. People need to know that Poles are unfortunately not on the same side when it comes to illegal migration.
Are all trains integrated now? When I visited Warsaw in 2019, I was not sure. In Prague you can use public transportation tickers for any train that operates inside city and even more further when you have more zone tickets.
@@Pidalin it's complicated. There are 2 train companies - SKM (city owned, covering city and suburbs, trains are Red) and Koleje Mazowieckie (regional owned, going across whole region, trains are green). For city owned trains you use the same tickets as for buses and trams. For regional trains you need either dedicated ticket or city ticket valid for 24h or more, except for the trains going to airport - in them all city tickets are ok
@@Pidalin Yes and no. City trains and regional trains are, while trains that go to far destinations aren't. However, the latter use completely different railway stations so it's rather impossible to take a wrong one.
Nie wspomnieliście, że w metrze jest takie niepisane prawo, że ludzie stoją po prawej na schodach. Po lewej robią miejsce dla spóźnionych, którzy po schodach ruchomych wchodzą lub schodzą i gdy jest dużo ludzi przyspiesza to przepływ pasażerów na schodach.
@@GallivanterDom możliwe. Nie pamiętam. Korzystałam też z metra w Moskwie, ale tam to można się zgubić. Mają sieć linii. Najgłębsze metro jest chyba na 50m. Każda stacja ma swój klimat i inną aranżację wnętrza. W Warszawie gdy mieszkałam to druga linia metra była w budowie.
@@GallivanterDom unless you are getting outside Warsaw you will never need zone 2. Residents have Karta Warszawiaka that for 250 for 3 months gives you acces to whole network even SKM (our overground, but its more like S-bahn).
@@GallivanterDom The original comment is incorrect, it's the only 20 minute ticket available, it's valid in both zones and costs 3.40PLN or 1.70 with 50% discount for certain groups. There's a zone 1 only 75 minute ticket that costs 4.40 and a 90 minute for zone 1+2 for 7.00. Longer term tickets are available in both variants.
I love Warsaw Metro's trains. I love their sounds, to the piont that I can recognise the type of train only by the sounds ... unless the soviet 81 series train rolls on the station. It has really similar sounds to Alstom Metropolis. 9:33 I wonder where that child got the board with bus route from
the day of the recording (21.09.2024) there was a pulic transport fair, so you could get one there. You can also buy one at the MZA store, though they are very expensive there if I remember correctly
as for information about the next lines, work on the next M2 stations is coming to an end, 3 new stations will be added on each side (6 in total); a few months ago, drilling of tunnels for the M3 began, which will serve the south-eastern part of Warsaw. At the same time, the design of the M4 line began, so yes, something is being built here all the time
You will probably have to wait a bit cause the plan is for all 3 new metro lines us to open before 2050. 4 and 3 will be built simultaneously and construction will end probably before 2040 but still
Is there a difference in UK and how safe or how the cost compare to the polish one? With comparison to pay in poland and it's metro system, and pay in uk and it's metro system?
Yes the level of safety in Poland is much higher than that of the UK. Regarding prices the Polish average wage is approximately 1/2 of the UK average wage but the price of a day ticket in Warsaw is 1/4 the price of its London counterpart. So its 1/2 the effective price for Poles as it it for Brits even taking into account the disparity in income.
One thing you forgot to mention, is whether you can use an escalator to go down into the station and platform. Pretty sure you can. But you overlooked this for people who are tired, have luggage, baby strollers, etc.
Fo those one who are dilighted how clean and beautifull is Warsaw metro, please notice that compared to London or Paris the metro in Warszawa was built about than 100 years later using competelly different technology and materials. Metro in Warszawa has only 41,5km while in Paris the metro has 226 km, in London 402km. So, they are completelly different constructions and different scale. Anyway, the public trancportation in Warszawa is well developed,safe and works ok. (I'm using this every day)There are also buses and trams. The tickets are cheap. Monthly ticket (1-st zone-city) costs only 110PLN - about 26EURO.
Yes but my local metro the Tyne and Wear metro is not too dissimilar in size and age and is worse in every metric. I wasn't just refering to the London tube as comparison.
It is very clean and modern. However, regarding graffiti, it does exist surprisingly on the Palace of Science and Culture. I see plenty of graffiti but very little litter. There are at least two mosques in Warsaw that I know of, and there is a very small Islamic presence in Poland. Look into the history of the Lipka Tatars; it's super interesting. Thanks for watching, buddy.
Actually we got 5 types of the trains. First is russian made Wagonmasz model 81, and second is a Wagonmasz year 2008 revision. The're still in use, but planned to be withdrawn soon. Third is french Alstom new Metropolis series. Fourth is german Siemens Inspiro, and Fifth (the newest) is Skoda Varsovia from Czechia. ;)
Although I used it long time ago, but since you mentioned it, I must praise the London Underground for its very clear information for passengers (e.g. on transfers). I went around the whole London and never got lost ! I am Polish.
Thank you for "like". I remember also that soon after the London Underground I had to navigate around the NYC subway and although it was fine, my subjective feeling was the London tube was easier to get around and cleaner as well. The only critical remark towards London was it was then closing relatively early for night but perhaps that's why it was cleaner than NYC. By the way, LA subway was quite unusual at the time I was there , in the sense , in comparison with NYC subway, checking a passenger on entry and exit, LA subway felt like not being interested in checking a passenger at all. Perhaps they were hiring people checking random or all passengers while already in the trains.
@@GallivanterDom It was long rime ago, perhaps it is worse now but still well organized. One thing I'd improve would be some measures preventing passengers falling onto tracks. I know it happens quite often and sometimes ends up very badly.
There are 4 types of trains in the metro. Not 3 - Scoda Varsovia - Siemens Inspiro - Alstom Metropolis and the only one on the route, an old train from Russia made in 1963 - Vagonmash old. It runs only on the M1 line. Kabaty - Młociny. to ride it, you have to be lucky
While I really enjoyed underground in London, I hated them in Paris. Each time when I passed these doors next to ticket validation I was afraid they'll kill me, they shut so suddenly and heavy full-metal tiny spaces. Also their printed, one time tickets are stupid. I placed it in my pocket, next to my cellphone, after checking in on train. Then 1h drive to Disneyland. Then I couldn't exit the station, because they validate it on exit, there was no human worker, and the ticket was magnetic!!! It got demagnetized by my cellphone and it didn't work to get out. My husband (he had his ticket in wallet) run around whole station to find help, we were stuck on 2 sides of these doors for 45 minutes until he found someone who let me pass.
Jak dobije do miliona mieszkańców to może. Mrzonki w podejściu, gigantyczne koszty budowy w starym mieście, gdzie w ziemi czekają same "niespodzianki".

W dobie innych wyzwań - nakłady na zbrojenia, służbę zdrowia bo starzejące się społeczeństwo nie mówiąc o gigantycznej kasie potrzebnej w edukacji - pokazuje, że bez kasy centralnej nie ma opcji aby miasto to udźwignęło. Realia budżetu są brutalne, marzyć zawsze można.
Thank you for showing the metro and how to actually buy a ticket. I am coming to Warsaw for two days at the end of this month so might try it out. A long time ago when I was in Warsaw, I took the underground to the very last station and bought a bottle opener a then huge Tesco. As far as I know, Tesco has since disappeared from Poland altogether. At the very end of the film you see the big tall Russian style building, a present from Stalin! There is a huge similar building in Moscow, the Moscow State University and there is also a similar but smaller version in Riga. In Riga, you can go to the top via the lift and get a nice view over the whole city.
There are actually 4 models, but soviet/russian ones are very rare (I believe it's only 1 train now), from oldest to newest: old soviet metrovagonmash 81 (1 operating), french alstom metropolis (you rode it on M1), new russian vagonmash 81 (not in service anymore), german siemens inspiro (first one that you are able to walk through) and czech skoda varsovia (only type on M2)
Świetnie, że zachwycacie się moim wspaniałym krajem. Jeszcze za naszego życia zaczniecie się tutaj wyprowadzać. I to mnie bardzo cieszy ponieważ mamy gigantyczny problem z demografią.

Nice video! Last time I used the Warsaw Metro must have been in 2015/2016. Back then the M2 line was very new and ran only from Rondo Daszyńskiego to Dw. Wileński. It was also around that time i went on the M1 for the first time also from Świętokrzyska to Centrum. Good times.
@GallivanterDom Indeed very clean and well kept. I live in London so the comparison I had between the Metros was 2 different worlds. I feel like TFL just keeps getting worse every year with the corrupt mayor.
@@_Michal_Michal_ I used to live near London when I was studying at university so I'd pop into London quite frequently and the tube was always filthy. Both the stations and trains themselves had rubbish everywhere, empty bottle and food packaging. The floor and walls were caked in dirt. I have no love for my home capital. Warsaw is like another world as you say. Clean, pleasant and affordable.
@@GallivanterDom Yh it's a shame that London has become so run down. It was the first Metro System on the planet, a setting stone for the rest of the world to become inspired by it's unique invention. I was born in Poland but I moved to London about 18 years ago, so I've been living here most of my life. I have seen the changes to London, a gradual decline in construction of new underground lines, useless ideas like ULEZ and closing roads to reduce pollution, the climate change propaganda, knife crime, robberies etc. Crazy to think a city can deteriorate in just 2 decades.
@@GallivanterDom When me and my parents migrated to London 18 years ago, Poland was extremely corrupt, and one could only find a job through contacts. The effects of communism were still being felt in the newly established free market state. Hence why a lot of Polish friends I know had the same situation where when they were young, they're parents took them to live in the UK - the land of freedom. Now it's like history has turned the opposite way, where now Poland is more free, and the UK is slowly becoming a totalitarian state ran by Mr Starmer.

He's originally Polish. He just moved to the UK when he was young then his family moved back. That's why he has a Barnsley accent. He talks about it more in the previous video about the Jewish hideouts.
A short-term ticket entitles you to travel on all ZTM lines - buses, trams, metro and fast urban railway - SKM. This is a bearer ticket. Short-term tickets are included in the 'Common Ticket' offer and also entitle you to travel on Koleje Mazowieckie and Warszawska Kolej Dojazdowa trains. Conceptual work and consultations on the 3rd and 4th metro lines are already underway. 5 metro lines are planned in Warsaw by 2050.
There are plans for 5 lines of Warsaw metro that are supposed to be finished by 2050. That would help everybody and maybe we wouldnt need to even use cars
@@GallivanterDomplac Wilsona - not the newest, but one of the most iconic and chosen as a most beautifull in 2008 Metrorail conference. I'm not sure if it trully is, nevertheless it's composition and the idea behind makes it very unique and wonderfull. You will find many pictures on Google. About Wawrzyszew - nothing special, i guess it was a mistake. But take a look at the Stare Bielany station inside - walls covered with wooden abstract patterns. To be honest, 1st M1 line is unique, because almost every station looks different and has it own character. The M2 on the other hand is very modern, but quite similar on every stop
@@zwierzak450 Thank you, that you wrote it, I don't have to :) Almost every day, for many years, I use the metro station at pl. Wilsona (Wilson Square, the station is considered in various rankings as one of the most beautiful in the world) and I am still very impressed. Stare Bielany also makes a lot of impression on me. This station refer to Art Deco and the Stare Bielany district. Pl. Wilson also refers to Art Deco and modernism, but more in the edition of "City-Mas- Machine" and also fits the Żoliborz district in the modernist and Bauhaus style - around the station. In addition, these districts were not destroyed during the war, the houses, parks, the entire urban layout are largely as in the 1920s and 1930s.
@@alh6255 What you wrote is a great addition to my words, thanks! Żoliborz was not destroyed indeed, to be honest Germans had to acommodate somewhere their officers 😅
Самое классное это бесплатные туалеты в варшавском метро. Правда, только на новых станциях, но это уже огромное удобство. В петербургском или московском метро такого нет. Жил в Варшаве летом 2022 года, город понравился и люди. Пару раз встретил поляков - русофобов, но будем считать что я их не видел. 😊 Польша - ❤
Me, who sees public transport as a form of torture and feel not right with myself with paying for something that's a horrible experience for me, and stopped using metro after they changed the gate system so you can't jump over them, am really baffled with all people talking how nice its in Poland compared to west. It shows how fake the facade of fancy and advanced western civilisation is.
@@GallivanterDom And the most ridiculous thing is that you can see Warsaw metro trains on normal Czech railways on it's way to Poland, but we don't use these trains for metro here. 🙂
@@Pidalin probably because they were designed and made to order by Warsaw - for the Warsaw subway. When the order is completed then Skoda Transportation will be able to sell them to other willing customers. To be honest, the specific type of wagon is not the key thing for the subway.
@@michalp.1484 We should have these long walk thru metro trains too for new Prague metro line D, I wonder if it's gonna be škoda, but it will be without driver, so probably not.
@@Pidalin If the automatic train control is to be external, then would be good if the production of the wagons is Czech from Skoda. In these demanding times, it's very important to produce as much as possible with our own forces and make our own country and citizens richer not from other countries. I keep my fingers crossed for the Czechs. In my funny Polish it would be “trzymam kciuki za Czechów” 😅😉
I will definitely be visiting Belarus at some point. I have some good friends from there. It's just not so easy to get in and out as a Brit from my understanding.
@@GallivanterDom Until 31 December 2024, UK citizens can visit Belarus without a visa for up to 30 days. It is advisable to have health insurance with you. If you plan to stay with someone, you must submit a notification to the Department of Citizenship and Migration at the place of residence of that person within 5 days. If you plan to stay in a hotel, then this is not necessary. Regarding the Minsk metro - I am sure that you will really like the green line, which was put into operation in 2020.
1:22 Actually, non of these are functional anymore, not that they have ever been. Some parts of the plans that Warsaw’s metro should be also an atomic shelter had been implemented back at the 80/90s however due to the lack of funds and also collapse of the Soviet Union, thus, a reduced risk of a nuclear war, the plans have been cancelled and for example, at the ursynow metro station only the metal gates that he's talking about have stayed.
12:12 - This is the proof that bariers are stupid, it's clearly bottleneck for people, but on other hand, I like that Poles were able to install gates and still keep classic paper tickets where you have everything printed, I have those weird e-tickets. In Prague, we don't have any barriers and that is how it should be everywhere, they removed barriers in 90s and reason? Except unification to one public transportation integrated system another reason was that people were jumping over it or using enterance for disabled people, when you don't want to pay, you will always find a way and gates just bother paying customer and most of nothing people have month or year pass anyway.
@@GallivanterDom but I just told you that nobody was paying when we had barriers 😀 I saw it even in Portugal, they have tall gates and still, I saw a guy who just overjumped it like if it was nothing 😀 Also, they already have trust system for other kinds of transportation in warsaw, so I don't really understand why making mess with some barriers in metro when nobody will check you while entering tram or bus

I saw also families leaving behind all the KFC or MCD empty packs after consumption. I think the blue line was the most messy.

I can see a strong one-sidedness among the comments - Great Britain as a superpower has been declining since World War I which has only recently accelerated. In Poland, we are currently in many aspects the economic situation of Western countries in the early 1990s - with different dynamics and bases of "wealth", with a shortage of workers and the need to look for labor from the East - such as Germany or the UK from the former Eastern bloc. With a few differences: - Poland very easily assimilates progressive trends and the broadly understood woke culture - the same one that led the UK to where it is today - we live in the era of rapid information exchange - a double-edged sword - we do not have strong domestic companies-corporations in business or technology - we are still a German-American economic colony with an admixture of other countries -We have a war abroad and we are weak millitary -we do not have a strong currency based on our own bank -the average Pole still has less accumulated wealth than the average Western citizen Great Britain is falling, but in my opinion, Poland will fall faster and more painfully in the next 15 years, mainly due to the lack of companies that can "bring money" to Poland from other countries - when corporations stop being lucrative in Poland, they will simply withdraw and deepen the crisis of the economy. based on Western capital. Let's enjoy it while it's good.
That's actually a really interesting take that I haven't heard before. Hopefully you're wrong and Poland doesn't fall at all, but you may be correct. I think that due to a lack of mass immigration Poland may fare better than expected as it has built the infrastructure necessary to be self-sufficient in terms of upskilling its population. Only time will tell. Thanks for the comment.
Now take into account that Warsaw has 39 metro stations while Madrid or Berlin have around 400. And that building 1km of metro line in Warsaw cost 4x more than in Madrid.
Widząc, co się dzieje na świecie z nielegalnymi imigrantami możemy czuć się dumni, że mieszkamy w Polsce. Każdy obcokrajowiec jest bardzo zaskoczony tym, jak wszyscy żyjemy.

10:16 There are a total of 5 models of trains in Warsaw. 1st is Russian serie 81 which can be divided into two subparts. A) Metrostyle (81-717.3 and 81-714.3) and B) Classicstyle (doesn't have metro logo on the front, 81-572, 81-573 or 81-717P and 81-714P aka. the polish version) 2nd is Alstom Metropolis 98B, kinda simmilar to US trains 3rd was Russian serie 81 remodel from 2009 which has the same model name (81-572, 81-573 or 81-717P and 81-714P) 4th is Siemens Inspiro which was the first articulated train in Poland 5th is Szkoda 23MT / Varsovia which is the newest model.
@GallivanterDom You probably won't be able to ride the new russian model since afaik it they gave it to the ukrainians. The only russian train that drives regularly is Train No. 2. on the M1 line
Okey, and here we are. I do not know if he says he never take the warsaw metro before or just "the" any metro before. I suppose he is British so it will be very weird that he never took a metro, in London for example.

Unfortunately our government does not really support the Border Guard and politicians have been caught lying many times. The brave Border Guard is fighting not only against illegal immigrants but also against some Polish media and activists who come to the border trying to help these bandits get into Polish territory.
The situation in Poland is currently OK but some people are trying their best to change it. Recently there was even an idea to pay illegal immigrants to leave the country just like in Sweden. Fortunately the idea was rejected relatively quickly after people's reaction but this only shows that the government is increasingly willing to accept all illegal immigrants.

The ticket is also good for city trains. There are more city trains than metro lines.

Are all trains integrated now? When I visited Warsaw in 2019, I was not sure. In Prague you can use public transportation tickers for any train that operates inside city and even more further when you have more zone tickets.
@@Pidalin it's complicated. There are 2 train companies - SKM (city owned, covering city and suburbs, trains are Red) and Koleje Mazowieckie (regional owned, going across whole region, trains are green). For city owned trains you use the same tickets as for buses and trams. For regional trains you need either dedicated ticket or city ticket valid for 24h or more, except for the trains going to airport - in them all city tickets are ok
@@zbigniewmalec4816In Warsaw, there is a common ticket valid for ZTM+SKM+KM.

Do they do that every year?
@@GallivanterDom yep
@@GallivanterDom Yes. On September 22 every year, Warsaw celebrates a World Car Free Day.
as for information about the next lines, work on the next M2 stations is coming to an end, 3 new stations will be added on each side (6 in total); a few months ago, drilling of tunnels for the M3 began, which will serve the south-eastern part of Warsaw. At the same time, the design of the M4 line began, so yes, something is being built here all the time
It's always good to see progress. I'll have to come back in a few years when M3 opens
You will probably have to wait a bit cause the plan is for all 3 new metro lines us to open before 2050. 4 and 3 will be built simultaneously and construction will end probably before 2040 but still
Station „Rondo ONZ” and some others of M2 stations was designed by famous artist Wojciech Fangor.
Cool thanks for the info 👍🏻
Is there a difference in UK and how safe or how the cost compare to the polish one? With comparison to pay in poland and it's metro system, and pay in uk and it's metro system?
Yes the level of safety in Poland is much higher than that of the UK. Regarding prices the Polish average wage is approximately 1/2 of the UK average wage but the price of a day ticket in Warsaw is 1/4 the price of its London counterpart. So its 1/2 the effective price for Poles as it it for Brits even taking into account the disparity in income.
One thing you forgot to mention, is whether you can use an escalator to go down into the station and platform. Pretty sure you can. But you overlooked this for people who are tired, have luggage, baby strollers, etc.
I was just showing my personal experience it's not a comprehensive guide. I'm not sure if there is an appetite for that on RUclips.
Fo those one who are dilighted how clean and beautifull is Warsaw metro, please notice that compared to London or Paris the metro in Warszawa was built about than 100 years later using competelly different technology and materials. Metro in Warszawa has only 41,5km while in Paris the metro has 226 km, in London 402km. So, they are completelly different constructions and different scale. Anyway, the public trancportation in Warszawa is well developed,safe and works ok. (I'm using this every day)There are also buses and trams. The tickets are cheap. Monthly ticket (1-st zone-city) costs only 110PLN - about 26EURO.
Yes but my local metro the Tyne and Wear metro is not too dissimilar in size and age and is worse in every metric. I wasn't just refering to the London tube as comparison.

Actually we got 5 types of the trains. First is russian made Wagonmasz model 81, and second is a Wagonmasz year 2008 revision. The're still in use, but planned to be withdrawn soon. Third is french Alstom new Metropolis series. Fourth is german Siemens Inspiro, and Fifth (the newest) is Skoda Varsovia from Czechia. ;)
We love a škoda 😂
I think I read somewhere the early, perhaps Russian made trains were given to Ukraine?
@@GallivanterDom Yes, I heard about it too, but still just a few russian trains runs M1 line.
Although I used it long time ago, but since you mentioned it, I must praise the London Underground for its very clear information for passengers (e.g. on transfers). I went around the whole London and never got lost ! I am Polish.
Are you praising London's Underground for mold on the walls and the lack of air conditioning too?" Haahahah delulu 😂😂😂
I agree the London tube is a really amazing transportation system. It's huge and works. However it's not very clean and filled with dodgy people 😅
Thank you for "like". I remember also that soon after the London Underground I had to navigate around the NYC subway and although it was fine, my subjective feeling was the London tube was easier to get around and cleaner as well. The only critical remark towards London was it was then closing relatively early for night but perhaps that's why it was cleaner than NYC. By the way, LA subway was quite unusual at the time I was there , in the sense , in comparison with NYC subway, checking a passenger on entry and exit, LA subway felt like not being interested in checking a passenger at all. Perhaps they were hiring people checking random or all passengers while already in the trains.
@@mxgagat It was more than 20 years ago, I don'y recall any issues with walls
@@GallivanterDom It was long rime ago, perhaps it is worse now but still well organized. One thing I'd improve would be some measures preventing passengers falling onto tracks. I know it happens quite often and sometimes ends up very badly.
There are 4 types of trains in the metro. Not 3
- Scoda Varsovia
- Siemens Inspiro
- Alstom Metropolis
and the only one on the route, an old train from Russia made in 1963 - Vagonmash old.
It runs only on the M1 line. Kabaty - Młociny.

So cool I'll keep an eye out for those retro trains
While I really enjoyed underground in London, I hated them in Paris. Each time when I passed these doors next to ticket validation I was afraid they'll kill me, they shut so suddenly and heavy full-metal tiny spaces. Also their printed, one time tickets are stupid. I placed it in my pocket, next to my cellphone, after checking in on train. Then 1h drive to Disneyland. Then I couldn't exit the station, because they validate it on exit, there was no human worker, and the ticket was magnetic!!! It got demagnetized by my cellphone and it didn't work to get out. My husband (he had his ticket in wallet) run around whole station to find help, we were stuck on 2 sides of these doors for 45 minutes until he found someone who let me pass.
I've never been to Paris and honestly I have no desire to do so. Plenty of people I know have been and they didn't come back with good things to say.

M1 was first opened in the 1995.

Thank you for showing the metro and how to actually buy a ticket. I am coming to Warsaw for two days at the end of this month so might try it out. A long time ago when I was in Warsaw, I took the underground to the very last station and bought a bottle opener a then huge Tesco. As far as I know, Tesco has since disappeared from Poland altogether.
At the very end of the film you see the big tall Russian style building, a present from Stalin! There is a huge similar building in Moscow, the Moscow State University and there is also a similar but smaller version in Riga.

It was the first Metro System on the planet, a setting stone for the rest of the world to become inspired by it's unique invention. I was born in Poland but I moved to London about 18 years ago, so I've been living here most of my life. I have seen the changes to London, a gradual decline in construction of new underground lines, useless ideas like ULEZ and closing roads to reduce pollution, the climate change propaganda, knife crime, robberies etc. Crazy to think a city can deteriorate in just 2 decades.
@@GallivanterDom When me and my parents migrated to London 18 years ago, Poland was extremely corrupt, and one could only find a job through contacts.

Hence why a lot of Polish friends I know had the same situation where when they were young, they're parents took them to live in the UK - the land of freedom. Now it's like history has turned the opposite way, where now Poland is more free, and the UK is slowly becoming a totalitarian state ran by Mr Starmer.

1:22 Actually, non of these are functional anymore, not that they have ever been. Some parts of the plans that Warsaw’s metro should be also an atomic shelter had been implemented back at the 80/90s however due to the lack of funds and also collapse of the Soviet Union, thus, a reduced risk of a nuclear war, the plans have been cancelled and for example, at the ursynow metro station only the metal gates that he's talking about have stayed.

Except unification to one public transportation integrated system another reason was that people were jumping over it or using enterance for disabled people, when you don't want to pay, you will always find a way and gates just bother paying customer and most of nothing people have month or year pass anyway.
I can't say the barriers bother me. Perhaps it's because I'm from a less trusting society but without barriers nobody would pay here.

I can see a strong one-sidedness among the comments - Great Britain as a superpower has been declining since World War I which has only recently accelerated.
In Poland, we are currently in many aspects the economic situation of Western countries in the early 1990s - with different dynamics and bases of "wealth", with a shortage of workers and the need to look for labor from the East - such as Germany or the UK from the former Eastern bloc.
With a few differences:
- Poland very easily assimilates progressive trends and the broadly understood woke culture - the same one that led the UK to where it is today
- we live in the era of rapid information exchange - a double-edged sword
- we do not have strong domestic companies-corporations in business or technology - we are still a German-American economic colony with an admixture of other countries
-We have a war abroad and we are weak millitary
-we do not have a strong currency based on our own bank
-the average Pole still has less accumulated wealth than the average Western citizen
Great Britain is falling, but in my opinion, Poland will fall faster and more painfully in the next 15 years, mainly due to the lack of companies that can "bring money" to Poland from other countries - when corporations stop being lucrative in Poland, they will simply withdraw and deepen the crisis of the economy. based on Western capital.
Let's enjoy it while it's good.
That's actually a really interesting take that I haven't heard before.
Hopefully you're wrong and Poland doesn't fall at all, but you may be correct. I think that due to a lack of mass immigration Poland may fare better than expected as it has built the infrastructure necessary to be self-sufficient in terms of upskilling its population.
Only time will tell.
Thanks for the comment.

So, now time for local trains in Warsaw?
When I'm back in town sure!
The best metro has Cieszyn city.
🚇👍🏼
Now take into account that Warsaw has 39 metro stations while Madrid or Berlin have around 400. And that building 1km of metro line in Warsaw cost 4x more than in Madrid.
I've never used the Madrid or Berlin metro so I can't compare
Widząc, co się dzieje na świecie z nielegalnymi imigrantami możemy czuć się dumni, że mieszkamy w Polsce. Każdy obcokrajowiec jest bardzo zaskoczony tym, jak wszyscy żyjemy.
Ale to jest przykre, że się ludzie w komentarzach zachwycają czymś co powinno być też dla nich normalne.
I agree. A clean affordable metro should be standard in big cities but it's quite the shock coming from England where my local metro is expensive and filthy.
We are intelligent, high educated with masters degrees in hand, we have ambitions, we work hard and decently we are mdntaly stronger and healthier then rest of European a specially England.!
no widać po gramatyce
Angole podziwiają Polskę,a potem pojada do siebie i nabijaja się że do wkrecenia żarówki potrzeba dwóch Polaków!
In the joke it's 3 Poles not 2.
Teraz budowane trudno zeby wygladalo inaczej
can you dig it?
It would probably take a while.
@@GallivanterDom it is worthwhile though
It doesn't look like Pakistan, so this must be only one place in Europe: POLAND 🇵🇱

There are a total of 5 models of trains in Warsaw.
1st is Russian serie 81 which can be divided into two subparts. A) Metrostyle (81-717.3 and 81-714.3) and B) Classicstyle (doesn't have metro logo on the front, 81-572, 81-573 or 81-717P and 81-714P aka. the polish version)
2nd is Alstom Metropolis 98B, kinda simmilar to US trains
3rd was Russian serie 81 remodel from 2009 which has the same model name (81-572, 81-573 or 81-717P and 81-714P)
4th is Siemens Inspiro which was the first articulated train in Poland
5th is Szkoda 23MT / Varsovia which is the newest model.
Oh cool perhaps I'll get a chance to ride on all of them.
@GallivanterDom You probably won't be able to ride the new russian model since afaik it they gave it to the ukrainians. The only russian train that drives regularly is Train No. 2. on the M1 line
Okey, and here we are. I do not know if he says he never take the warsaw metro before or just "the" any metro before. I suppose he is British so it will be very weird that he never took a metro, in London for example.
I meant I've never taken the Warsaw metro before. I have taken Metros in many other countries before.
@@GallivanterDom okey, see, this is the nuance in english I do not really understand as a Pole so thanks for the explanation xD
What's imperssing?
The fact it's clean. Might seem like nothing to you but I'm not used to public transport being clean and orderly here in the UK.
@@GallivanterDom It should be a standard everywhere in public transport, in every country and city.
Nothing bets. NYC subway 😂😅
Are you comparing Warsaw to NYC?
Haha good one 😂
@vulpix3783 it's a joke , and have you ever seen NYC subway ?
@vulpix3783 it's a joke , and have you ever seen NYC subway ?
@@salmiernik3497 Nope but I’m looking forward to it! Seems great.
Tell me what did you notice compared to other western cities
Czystosc 🎉
I notice that Warsaw/Polish cities in general are cleaner and way safter than their western counterparts.
@@GallivanterDom british/irish and french/belgian*. Most of western Europe cities are very similar to polish in terms of cleanliness

If you look in front of me there is already a guy blocking the left side. Not my first time on an escalator.
You know it would be faster and cheaper to walk from RONDO ONZ to CENTRUM...
Walking wouldn't have made such a video.

Wait 50 years. Other metros were built 100 years ago. Do you understand the difference? 100 years.
My local metro system was built in 1980 my comparisons still stand.
