Świętokrzyska station — what to know

Świętokrzyska is the only place in Warsaw where you can change between metro lines. The M1 platform has been in service since 11 May 2001; the M2 platform, which crosses it at right angles, opened on 8 March 2015 after several years of rebuilding that involved tunnelling beneath a live line. Walking between the two platforms takes a little over a minute. Because practically every night bus route passes through, Świętokrzyska is also the city's most important night-transport node.

We do not list the number or location of individual exits: Metro Warszawskie does not publish them in a consistent form, and guessing would be unfair to anyone planning a journey in advance.
