Public transportation - is it easy to get around (specifically Warsaw <-> Krakow)?

Hey guys!

So I'll be in Warsaw soon for school and was wondering how the public transportation is. I know driving is brutal.

What's the best way to get to Krakow from Warsaw and back? Train or bus? And how often do they come. I'll be going from Warsaw
to Krakow often (maybe every or every other weekend) so I'm kind of curious. Also, are there any express trains to get to Krakow and if so, how much
are the fairs?

Thanks in advance.

The Warsaw to Krakow intercity train is great and they run often- I think like 3 times a day- maybe more. The fairs I am not sure of- I want to say close to 80 pln but I could be wrong. There is also first class and second class prices- second class has two extra people in the section.

You can find out the fare for a given train on the PKP website - http://www.pkp.pl/. It takes between 2.5-3.5hrs.

Public transport in Warsaw is pretty good. It is better to stick to trams where possible as the buses often get caught in traffic. Driving is not that bad when you get used to it but the traffic jams are getting worse and worse.

There's an excellent website for planning journeys (all in English too) http://warszawa.jakdojade.pl/?forcebrowser=true&locale=en

Keep in mind that because of track maintenance works, journey time is approx 1,5 hour longer as on the schedule. It still beats any car/bus travel though.
