Tickets on Night Bus 222 cost the same as daytime buses
Night Bus 222 links Poznań-Ławica Airport (terminal 1) with central Poznań using the regular ZTM tariff, so a standard 15‑, 45‑, or 90‑minute ticket works. You buy tickets from airport ticket machines in the arrivals hall, from the machine at the stop on Bukowska Street, or via the official ZTM mobile apps before boarding.
The stop for Night Bus 222 sits on Bukowska Street, roughly 250–300 meters from the terminal doors. Walk straight out of arrivals, follow signs for the public bus stop, then continue past the daytime bus bays to the clearly marked night line pole showing “222.” The walk takes about 4–5 minutes with a roll‑aboard.
Night Bus 222 runs only during night hours when lines like 159 are off the clock, typically covering the gap from around 23:00 until about 04:00–05:00. Exact departure times shift with timetable changes, so check the current ZTM Poznań schedule on the day you fly, especially if you land on a Friday or Saturday when night service patterns sometimes differ.
The line 222 routing usually takes you between the airport stop on Bukowska and central zones like Ogrody or the city center, depending on the current timetable. Expect roughly 20–30 minutes to reach central Poznań in light night traffic. The bus uses regular city stops, so you can get off closer to hotels on major streets instead of paying for a taxi the last kilometer.
On board 222 you board through the front or middle door and validate a paper ticket immediately in the yellow validator machines. Inspectors in Poznań do work night lines, and fines start in the triple‑digit złoty range, so skipping validation on a 5,00–6,00 zł ticket makes no sense. Drivers generally sell only single‑ride tickets if the machine is down, and they may not accept large banknotes.
If your flight lands after midnight and you want to use 222, build a small buffer of 15–20 minutes in case of passport queues or delayed bags, since missing a once‑hourly night departure can turn into a long wait in front of the terminal.
