@tastytea you are in for a ride
for international trains you get mobile pkp intercity app
for regio trains with or without transfers to another regio train; and intercity trains you use koleo.pl
for regio trains with transfers to intercity trains and viceversa you use bilkom.pl

@elexia @tastytea it goes in line with what is true about polish railways: every single thing is owned by someone else

@elexia @tastytea yeah like:
- trains are owned by train operators or provinces, which include PKP Intercity, PKP Cargo, PKP SKM w Trójmieście, SKM Warszawa, Koleje Dolnośląskie etc,
- platforms, passenger information infrastructure on platforms and station buildings, tracks, signalling is owned by PKP PLK
- overhead wires, various train petrol stations and electrical substations are owned by PGE Energetyka Kolejowa (earlier known as PKP Energetyka)
- the station buildings themselves are owned by PKP SA which is not PKP PLK, however many of them are actually owned by municipalities
- there's also this PKP TELKOL thing which is apparently engaged in maintaining overhead wires, telecommunications and dynamic passenger info??

@elexia @tastytea but the best fun is when you enter disused railway lines, because as it turns out, some if not most of them are still owned by PKP SA

@elexia @tastytea oh and then there's PKP Informatyka which is responsible for this mess with regard to ticket apps
did you know that they made:
- Portal Pasażera which is PKP PLK's website and app for checking timetables, delays
- Bilkom which is their own thing for checking timetables and getting tickets
- PKP.appka which is this fancy "modern" PKP SA app for displaying various info that is already possible to see on Portal Pasażera
- PKP Intercity which is, well, PKP Intercity ticketing app, in which you can get just PKP Intercity tickets
