Regular [[Ferry|car ferry]] service operates between Gdynia and Karlskrona, Sweden. ==== Public transport ==== {{Main|Trolleybuses in Gdynia}} Gdynia operates one of only three [[trolleybus]] systems in Poland, alongside [[Lublin]] and [[Tychy]]. Today there are 18 trolleybus lines in Gdynia with a total length of 96 km. The fleet is modern and consists of [[Solaris Trollino]] cars. There is also a historic line, connecting city centre with a district of [[Orłowo, Gdynia|Orłowo]] operated by five retro trolleybuses. In addition to that, Gdynia operates an extensive network of bus lines, connecting the city with the adjacent suburbs. ==== Airport ==== The conurbation's main airport, [[Gdańsk Lech Wałęsa Airport]], lays approximately {{convert|25|km|mi}} south-west of central Gdynia, and has connections to approximately 55 destinations. It is the third largest airport in Poland.<ref>{{cite web |title=Historia lotniska |url=http://www.airport.gdansk.pl/airport/airport_history |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130918212635/http://www.airport.gdansk.pl/airport/airport_history |archive-date=18 September 2013 |access-date=12 March 2013 |website=Airport.Gdansk.pl |publisher=[[Gdańsk Lech Wałęsa Airport]]}}</ref> A second [[General Aviation]] terminal was scheduled to be opened by May 2012, which will increase the airport's capacity to 5mln passengers per year. Another local airport, ([[Gdynia-Kosakowo Airport]]) is situated partly in the village of [[Kosakowo, Pomeranian Voivodeship|Kosakowo]], just to the north of the city, and partly in Gdynia. This has been a military airport since the World War II, but it has been decided in 2006 that the airport will be used to serve civilians.<ref>{{cite web |title=About airport |url=http://airport.gdynia.pl/en |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130521143543/http://airport.gdynia.pl/en |archive-date=21 May 2013 |access-date=12 March 2013 |work=Airport.Gdynia.pl |publisher=Port Lotniczy Gdynia-Kosakowo}}</ref> Work was well in progress and was due to be ready for 2012 when the project collapsed following a February 2014 EU decision regarding Gdynia city funding as constituting unfair competition to Gdańsk airport. In March 2014, the airport management company filed for bankruptcy, this being formally announced in May that year. The fate of some PLN 100 million of public funds from Gdynia remain unaccounted for with documents not being released, despite repeated requests for such from residents to the city president, [[Wojciech Szczurek]]. ==== Road transport ==== [[Trasa Kwiatkowskiego]] links [[Port of Gdynia]] and the city with [[Obwodnica Trójmiejska]], and therefore [[A1 autostrada (Poland)|A1 motorway]]. [[National road 6 (Poland)|National road 6]] connects [[Tricity, Poland|Tricity]] with [[Słupsk]], [[Koszalin]] and [[Szczecin agglomeration]]. ==== Railways ==== [[File:Dworzec Gdynia Główna (cropped).jpg|thumb|[[Gdynia Główna railway station|Gdynia Główna]], the city's main railway station]] The principal station in Gdynia is [[Gdynia Główna railway station]], the busiest railway station in the Tricity and northern Poland and sixth busiest in Poland overall, serving 13,41 mln passengers in 2022.<ref>{{cite web |title=Wymiana pasażerska na stacjach |url=https://dane.utk.gov.pl/sts/przewozy-pasazerskie/wymiana-pasazerska-na-s/18886,Przewozy-pasazerskie.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221008142701/https://dane.utk.gov.pl/sts/przewozy-pasazerskie/wymiana-pasazerska-na-s/18886,Przewozy-pasazerskie.html |archive-date=8 October 2022 |access-date=25 February 2023 |website=Portal statystyczny UTK |language=pl}}</ref> Gdynia has eleven railway stations. Local train services are provided by the 'Fast Urban Railway,' [[Szybka Kolej Miejska (Tricity)]] operating frequent trains covering the [[Tricity, Poland|Tricity]] area including [[Gdańsk]], [[Sopot]] and Gdynia. Long-distance trains from Warsaw via Gdańsk terminate at Gdynia, and there are direct trains to [[Szczecin]], [[Poznań]], [[Katowice]], [[Lublin]] and other major cities. In 2011-2015 the Warsaw-Gdańsk-Gdynia route was undergoing a major upgrading costing $3 billion, partly funded by the [[European Investment Bank]], including track replacement, realignment of curves and relocation of sections of track to allow speeds up to {{convert|200|km/h|mph|0|abbr=on}}, modernization of stations, and installation of the most modern [[European Train Control System|ETCS]] signalling system, which was completed in June 2015. In December 2014 new [[Alstom]] [[Pendolino]] high-speed trains were put into service between Gdynia, Warsaw and [[Kraków]] reducing rail travel times to Gdynia by 2 hours.<ref>{{cite news |date=15 December 2014 |title=Polish Pendolino launches 200 km/h operation |url=http://www.railwaygazette.com/news/passenger/single-view/view/polish-pendolino-launches-200-kmh-operation.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141216062725/http://www.railwaygazette.com/news/passenger/single-view/view/polish-pendolino-launches-200-kmh-operation.html |archive-date=16 December 2014 |access-date=24 December 2014 |work=[[Railway Gazette International]]}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |date=30 July 2013 |title=Pendolino z Trójmiasta do Warszawy |trans-title=Pendolino from Tri-city to Warsaw |url=http://www.trojmiasto.pl/wiadomosci/Pendolino-z-Trojmiasta-do-Warszawy-Wiecej-pytan-niz-odpowiedzi-n71010.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140728035932/http://www.trojmiasto.pl/wiadomosci/Pendolino-z-Trojmiasta-do-Warszawy-Wiecej-pytan-niz-odpowiedzi-n71010.html |archive-date=28 July 2014 |access-date=24 December 2014 |work=Trojmiasto.pl |language=pl}}</ref> === Economy === [[File:Pesa SA133-031, Województwo Pomorskie (PKM) (41368347674).jpg|thumb|[[Pesa Atribo|Pesa Atribo SA133]] of the [[Szybka Kolej Miejska (Tricity)|Tricity Fast Urban Railways]] (SKM) departing from [[Gdynia Główna railway station|Gdynia]]]] '''Notable companies that have their headquarters or regional offices in Gdynia''': * [[PROKOM SA]] – the largest Polish I.T. company * [[C.
