Olsztyn (Poland)

Olsztyn  is a city on the Łyna River in northeastern Poland, in the region known as the "Thousand Lakes". As a capital city of a popular tourist region, Olsztyn is a destination or at least a stop on the route to the Mazurian Lakes, which has led to a growing number of cars and air pollution. In response, Tthe city has adopted several strategic documents, like a SUMP, Urban Area Strategy, Public Transport Strategy and Programme for Cycling Routes. 

In recent years, Olsztyn has focused on developing its public transport system with a particular focus put on the tram network reintroduced after 50 years. The new mode of transport became a starting point for revolutionary changes to the city’s transport system. The project included new trams, 11km of tracks, creation of bus lines for priority of PT vehicles and introduction of the Intelligent Transport System (ITS) with subsystems for bus and tram management, traffic monitoring, dynamic passenger information, ticket selling, city card, meteorological information etc.
