These are not averages or rounded figures: the gaps come straight from the ZTM timetable and are counted from the terminus. At peak, line M1 runs every 2.5 min; late in the evening, every 9.5 min. Weekend gaps are longer — the breakdown for each direction is on every station page.
Timetable by line
Evening and night service
Special situations
Temporary restrictions
During maintenance or construction work, some lines may be replaced by bus shuttles on certain evenings, with stations temporarily closed. Check the service status on metro.waw.pl before you travel.
Extra service
During major events and matches, service on the affected lines is often increased; stations can get crowded once the event ends.
By shuttle bus
Chopin Airport is not directly on the metro — take line M1 to Wilanowska station, then continue by bus or tram. Allow extra time before your flight relative to the last trains.
Night buses
The metro doesn't run most nights; once it closes, ZTM night buses (N lines) take over with their own timetable.
Tips for travellers
Practical tips
- Exact times: times vary by station — check the information displays on the platform or metro.waw.pl.
- Last train: plan a late return in advance; the route planner shows the estimated arrival time.
- Transfers: with a time-based ticket, transfers are free for its whole validity — one ticket covers most trips.
- Airport: for Chopin Airport, take line M1 to Wilanowska station, then continue by surface transport.
- Night transport: once the metro closes, use ZTM night buses (N lines).
Check this before you travel
Maintenance, events or unexpected situations can change the service at any time. Check the hours on this page before you travel, and if your line looks suspended, check the current service status.
Frequently asked questions
The first trains leave the termini of both lines at 05:00. Departures from intermediate stations are correspondingly later — from Świętokrzyska towards Kabaty, for example, the first train is at 05:17. These times come from the ZTM timetable.
From Sunday to Thursday the last trains leave the termini at about 00:09 on line M1 and 00:16 on M2. On Friday and Saturday nights service is extended, with last departures around 02:18 and 02:13. Exact times for individual stations are on their own pages.
On a weekday, gaps on line M1 range from 2.5 min at peak to 9.5 min late in the evening, and on M2 from 3 min to 9.5 min. Weekend gaps are longer. The full hour-by-hour breakdown is in the tables above.
No. The ZTM timetable is counted from the terminus, so the first and last times differ at every station by the running time — up to 39 minutes between Młociny and Kabaty on line M1. That is why we publish a separate first/last table for each of the 38 stations, in both directions, instead of one set of hours for the whole network.
No. Warsaw Public Transport publishes a GTFS-Realtime feed, but we checked it and it carries buses and trams only — not a single M1 or M2 vehicle appears in it. Everything on this page is timetable data, and we label it as such. For live disruptions, check metro.waw.pl.
From the Warsaw Public Transport timetable published in GTFS format and owned by Zarząd Transportu Miejskiego w Warszawie. We checked it on 26 August 2026. We are not affiliated with ZTM or Metro Warszawskie — it is worth confirming with the operator before you travel.
