Katowice bus service direct to Zakapane ?

Can we get a bus from Katowice to Zakapane or do we have to get one to Krakow 1st ?
Thanks

There is a daily bus which leaves from Zielona Gora and goes all the way to Zakopane.
It stops in Katowice (next to the train station, PKP) at 11.10am and arrives in Zakopane at 2.55pm. The cost is 28 zloty for this leg of the trip. (It does also stop in Krakow).
Info is form www.pks.katowice.pl

Taxi fare from Katowice airport to Novotel Centrum Katowice

Hi again, just interested to know how much i should expect to pay for this journey ? don't want to get overcharged if i can help. So knowing roughly the amount in advance would help.

taxi - about 200 PLN, maybe less during the daytime.

alternative ways (I never used the service of the companies mentioned below, so I have no idea how true all the information is):

(AWOS and CarPolonia offer even direct transfers with shuttlefrom the airport to Zakopane, but there must be more passengers, otherwise it's too expensive, for example
Pyrzowce Zakopane
400.00 PLN za samochod (for a car) = do 8 osob (up to 8 persons)

(there's a bus to the city center, and Matuszek offers transfer to Cracow, which is probably on your way to Zakopane anyway)


by train (if you somehow get from the airport to the train station):

useful abbreviations:
PKP = Polskie Koleje Państwowe (Polish Railways)
PKS = buses (previously a nation-wide state-owned company, now probably privite and divided into regional branches)
