The Mayor of Tarnowskie Góry, Mr Arkadiusz Czech, decided about starting 3 new lines.

Routes of these line mostly do not overlap with the existing transport network.

In Zabrze, due to the decision of the Mayor, Ms Małgorzata Mańka-Szulik, as many as 3 new minibus lines will be started. Each of them will have a circular route. These will be line 704, which will connect Mikulczyce with Grzybowice, line 706, which will enable travelling between Plac Dworcowy and Guido district, and line 709, which route will go from Plac Dworcowy, among others via Plac Teatralny and Cieszyńska street to the Silesian Centre for Heart Diseases.

The connections may be used by e.g. residents of streets Jęczmienna and Księdza Alojzego Koziełka, so far omitted by buses. The new lines are the effect of work and arrangements of city authorities with the ZTM. 

The expansion of the transport offer became possible due to positive decisions of city Mayors on financing the additional connections.
