1 Lesson 13 Transportation Środki Transportu This lesson will introduce you to: - The verbs of motion - The ways of asking questions regarding the different modes of transportation - The different types of transportation available in Poland. Transportation in Poland is not as advanced as other countries of Eastern Europe but it is well developed so people don't have problems getting from place to place. The most common and convenient means of transportation in the city is the bus (autobus). In larger cities, buses are almost always crowded. For city buses, tickets are usually bought at the kiosks near the bus stop. Inner-city bus fares are cheap. Another form of transportation in bigger cities is the tram (tramwaj) or trolley bus (trolejbus). Tram routes are usually not as extensive as bus routes but they effectively complement buses as a means of local transportation. For frequent commuters, monthly bus or tram passes are a convenient option to save time and money. Public transportation operates from early morning until 11:00 pm. In large cities, one can find night buses (autobus nocny) after 11:00 pm. Taxis (taksówki) are another form of moving around cities. For longer trips between the cities, buses, coaches (autokary), and domestic trains (pociągi miejscowe) are the most convenient means of transportation. The most popular bus operator is PKS. Polski Express is the newest bus line operating in major cities. Trains, however, are fast, inexpensive and the most reliable. There are four types of trains in Poland: express trains (pociąg ekspresowy) stop only once or twice before reaching its final destination; intercity trains, similar to express trains but require prior reservations; fast trains (pociąg pospieszny) stop in bigger towns; slow trains (pociąg osobowy) stop at every station. Air travel is another option for long distance trips. Domestic and international flights are served by Polish Airlines LOT. The most desirable means of transportation is a private car. They were a rare commodity in the past due to steep prices but in the last 20 years the number of privatelyowned vehicles has increased dramatically. 178

Airplane Bicycle Ship Bus Samolot Rower Statek Autobus Car Ferry Boat Helicopter Samochód Prom Helikopter Motorcycle Taxi Train Truck Motocykl Taksówka Pociąg Ciężarówka The verb of motion " to go" has two lexical equivalents: -iść (to go on foot, to walk) and jechać- (to go by any means of a transport, to drive, or to ride). They are conjugated as follows: Singular: "iść" "jechać" ja idę-(i am going, walking, I am on my way) ja jadę ty idziesz ty jedziesz on, ona, ono idzie on,ona,ono jedzie Plural: my idziemy my jedziemy wy idziecie wy jedziecie oni idą oni jadą 179

In both of these verbs there is an idea of destination (where?- dokąd?

On jedzie do Warszawy (He is going to Warsaw), My idziemy do biblioteki (We are going to the library).

3 In both of these verbs there is an idea of destination (where?- dokąd?) Both verbs are followed by the following prepositions: "do, na, w, nad (English "to") - Use the preposition "do" with nouns in the genitive case indicating towns, cities, countries and buildings: On jedzie do Warszawy (He is going to Warsaw), My idziemy do biblioteki (We are going to the library). - Use "na" with nouns in the accusative case indicating streets, airports, islands, open spaces or events: Idę na koncert ( I am going to a concert); Czy ty jedziesz na stację benzynową? (Are you going to a gas station?) Saying "go" in connection with spending time, we use the Polish verb "iść" rather than "jechać" regardless of whether we drive, walk or take any other means of transport. For example: Idę na koncert (I am going to a concert.); Idę na film (I am going to see a movie.) 2. Listen to the questions and answers about using different forms of transportation. Repeat after the speaker as you read along. How do you go to work? I go Jadę by car -samochodem by bus-autobusem by train-pociągiem by bicycle-rowerem by boat- łódką by motorcycle- motocyklem by truck- ciężarówką I take the Jadę Jeżdżę car-samochodem bus-autobusem train-pociągiem bicycle-rowerem boat - łódką motorcycle- motocyklem truck- ciężarówką I walk Chodzę pieszo Model: Who + the verb of motion + preposition + destination + mode of transportation Example: Marta + jedzie + do + pracy +pociągiem. 3.

For example: Przepraszam, jak dostać się do biblioteki? (Excuse me. How do I get to the library? Tramwajem (tram). Przepraszam; Chcę jechać na lotnisko. Jak tam mogę dojechać? (Excuse me. I want to go to the airport. How do I get there?) Response requires a noun in the instrumental case: Autobusem 10 (bus 10). 5. Now practice reading the following exchanges. - Excuse me.

(He drives his own car), Ja mam swój pokój. (I have my own room.). The possessive pronoun swój has the same endings as mój, twój. At a service station 8.
