filter_dramaUnderstandLocated just 100 km south from Warsaw, with 220 000 inhabitants Radom is a mid-sized city. Once a major centre of industry, it has undergone dramatic changes in the last 20 years, with many factories being closed down. This has brought many social problems such as high unemployment, even relative to other Polish cities. This has resulted in Radom being one of the most inexpensive cities in the whole country, offering very low prices in the services sector.

Public transport
Radom is covered by a public transport network of 24 bus lines, numbered from 1 to 26. The full list of these routes can be found here [url=http://mzdik.pl/index.php?id=76]](in Polish).
Currently there are two carriers in Radom operating the public buses, but the tickets are issued and controlled by one authority, Miejski Zarząd Dróg i Komunikacji (MZDiK). There is a number of different tickets, but as a visitor you probably don't need to trouble yourself with most of them. All you should know is that a single ticket costs 2.10 zł, and there is a 50% reduction for children from the age of 4 till the end of education (includes university students), so the ticket costs 1.05 zł (in Polish: bilet ulgowy). Children until the age of 4 and seniors above the age of 70 travel for free. Be aware that you need to carry a document confirming your eligibility to the reduced fare. Single ticket is valid for the whole journey on the particular bus line. There is no time limit, but once you get off the bus, the ticket loses its validity. Make sure to validate the ticket in one of the validators by the door immediately after boarding.
Tickets can be purchased in any kiosk or a shop that has the sign bilety. Tickets can be also bought from the driver on-board, subject to availability, but an additional surcharge applies. A full fare ticket bought from the driver costs 3.00 zł, and the reduced fare is 1.50 zł.
You can check the time table of the buses on this website [http://mzdik.pl/index.php?id=142[/url] (in Polish).

filter_dramaStay safePick-pocketing happens mostly at the train station, public transportation and local market places; it is not frequent though. Exercise the usual caution when walking around the city, especially at night and away from the city centre. At night, try keep to the main streets or use a taxi.
As a foreigner, you are likely to be a target of any crime just as much as if you were local. Crimes targeting solely tourists are unheard of.
Radom was a pioneer of the Bezpieczne Miasto (Safe City) programme, later followed by other cities in Poland, by introducing a full-scale campaign since 1997. Currently there are 61 CCTV cameras around the city, mostly in the centre, that successfully helped to reduce the number of criminal offences. -
