SKM (Szybka Kolej Miejska – Fast Urban Railway) is the most important and efficient public transport link for traveling between Gdańsk, Sopot, and Gdynia. The SKM trains run frequently along the coast, connecting the three main cities and their various districts. It is often the quickest way to travel between the Tricity's centers. Sopot has an extensive local bus network that serves the town itself and connects to neighboring districts and parts of Gdańsk and Gdynia not directly covered by the SKM. Buses come in handy for reaching areas slightly away from the main SKM line or for shorter distances within Sopot.
Sopot Główny (Sopot Main Station) is the main station in Sopot, centrally located a short walk from Monte Cassino Street and the pier. SKM trains run very frequently, every few minutes during peak hours. Stations are well-signposted. Major bus stops are located near Sopot Główny station and along Niepodległości Avenue, which runs through Sopot. You find detailed route maps at larger bus stops and notably, through mobile applications.
