PLN 89 is the floor for the center, not necessarily the price. The band is decided by the meter's distance, and the operator's own map puts the Rynek in the PLN 109 band and the station in the PLN 129 band. Ask which band before you get in.

It never beats the bus: eight people in a van and a sedan pay from PLN 178 against PLN 48 on the 300. It does beat the train from five people, if the ride really is zone 4.

No authority states a taxi journey time. The 19 to 35 minutes here are the scheduled times of bus 300 and night bus 902 over the same roads, not a taxi figure.

A larger party should tell the driver 30 minutes ahead; the rules call a bigger group an atypical service. A van is not guaranteed at the rank without notice.

The city's meter ceiling (PLN 9 plus PLN 4 a kilometer by day) is a rule for licensed taxis inside Kraków's limits; the airport is outside them, in gmina Zabierzów, and this tariff is the airport company's own.

It is the only option that runs at every hour with no wait; the 902 is hourly in the dead of night.
