It is serviced by electric multiple unit cars at a frequency of 3 minutes to half an hour (depending on the time of day) between trains. It is an essential service for the cities and is often compared to subway service in other European cities. The Tricity area is uniquely suited for this mode of transport, as it's shaped in a relatively narrow north-south corridor between the Gdańsk Bay and the Trójmiejski Park Krajobrazowy.

EMUs

PKP class EW92 EMU - the first type of EMU servicing SKM lines

SKM uses mostly PKP class EN57 and EN71 electric multiple unit trains, some of them modernised to meet more recent demanding needs such as handicap accessibility, advanced security and comfort. The rolling stock is maintained in Gdynia Cisowa Elektrowozownia (Gdynia Cisowa Depot), which is located on the border between Gdynia and Rumia.

The EMUs have doors on both sides of the train and can therefore easily be operated in either direction. Even though the SKM line has stops with high platforms, the units can be used on low platform stations as well. The most common livery for SKM electric multiple units is yellow and blue, and all units are painted this way during servicing. The exception are units with advertising labels, which are coloured according to the advertiser's wishes. The SKM company logo is placed on both sides of the unit, next to the doors.

PKP class EN57 electric multiple unit, the most popular in SKM service

A big problem for SKM is homeless people, who in winter time seek shelter in the trains. SKM is trying to solve security problems in the trains, problems that are especially evident at night. Security is handled by SOK (Służba Ochrony Kolei, Rail Protection Office) officers and private security companies. Police and City Guard patrols are also more common than they once were. Another essential problem for SKM management are people devastating EMUs with graffiti. Companys spokesman, mr. Wróblewski assumes annually costs of removing paint from the trains as ce. 150 000 zł (about 50 000 USD).

On May 2006 one of SKM employees, Marek Pleśniar discovered an old EMU, like ones that used to drive on SKM lines until 1970s (and previously on Berlin S-Bahn - built in 1936 especially for 1936 Summer Olympics). Those EMUs were cancelled on December 20 1976 according to the change of voltage in traction from 800 V to 3000 V. After this change many of them were used as technical cars or even as holiday houses for PKP employees.

A new type of SKM ticket (since 2006)

One of the most urgent and most difficult problems regarding not only SKM, but the whole Tricity transport is lack of common ticket for the whole agglomeration and transport types. One has to buy different types of tickets for trams and buses in Gdańsk, trolleys and buses in Gdynia, and for SKM trains. Attempts to solve this situations are in progress.

Most of the train stations have ticket booths, and passengers starting the voyage on the stop without one can buy the ticket directly from train service. The price of normal ticket depends on the distance of a trip, and vary from 2,20 zł. to 6,20 zł. Monthly and weekly tickets are also available, as well as discounts for students.

The tickets are not validated in trains, but have to be validated in devices standing on platforms. Passenger entering train with a non-validatd ticket is regarded the same as one without a ticket. SKM has subcontracted a company called Renoma for ticket control in EMU's.

Since 2002 SKM tickets are not valid in other PKP Group companies' trains. Previously PKP Przewozy Regionalne tickets could be used on SKM line, and SKM tickets in PKP Przewozy Regionalne trains on SKM route. Interestingly, it is still possible to buy a monthly ticket common for the two companies. For album titles with the same name, see 2002 (album). ...

The layout of the ticket changed through time. First tickets were the same as all local lines' tickets, and looked like a small cardboard rectangle, often with a hole pierced in the middle. More modern design was orange coloured, with a white strip on one end for stamping information about the station and time of validation. After improving stricte SKM tickets the layout took light blue colour, also with a white stripe. This new layout had stops list printed on the reverse in the beginning. Lately, advertisements appeared there, or an information about possibility of advertising. Another kind of ticket one can see in SKM trains is a blanket ticket, used by train conductor to sell the tickets on stops with no ticket office available. It has a stop list with boxes to note start and stop of the journey, type of discount (if any) and number of tickets. An extra fee for train sale can also be filled on this blanket, as such fee is taken if the passenger boards on a stop where he could buy a ticket normally. The guard, conductor, captain, or foreman (depending upon country of origin, or railway system) is the senior railway official responsible for the safe operation of a train, whether it is a passenger or freight train. ...

The passenger catched as travelling without a ticket is asked for his or her documents and is charged with a fine. In case one refuses to show documents, controlers can call the police to wait on the nearest stop, and the officers can verify ones identity. The aount of money a passenger has to pay for travelling without a ticket is rather big, and for now it is more than 100 zł (over 30$).

From May 2006 SKM was systematically introducing new layouts of single and monthly tickets. The main purpose was to distinguish the SKM tickets from other Polish railway companies. The change was made without instant cancelling old type tickets, so that the two layouts were functioning one along other for some time. 2006 (MMVI) is a common year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

Stops

SKM stop at Gdańsk Politechnika

Szybka Kolej Miejska owns 27 stops on the way from Gdańsk to Wejherowo, of which 8 are connected with railway stations. All stops are lying on one line, one after another. The situation looks like this since 2005, when Gdańsk - Nowy Port line was closed for passenger traffic, and five stops on this line are no longer used.

Throughout the Tricity, SKM has its own stops built only for its purpose. The stops have high platforms, with tracks on both sides. Except for Gdańsk Główny stop, all trains heading for Gdańsk stop at the east side of platform (facing Gdańsk), and trains heading for Gdynia on the west. SKM is systematicaly working on improving the quality of stops, as most of them are currently in bad shape, not having basic services like handicapped lifts or proper ticket validators. The company had lately launched a research among visitors of its website, asking which of the stops should be repaired first. Since January 2006 SKM decided to install video cameras on stops and stations in order to improve the security level on platforms and inside station buildings. Since now only Gdynia Grabówek stop is equipped with those devices.

Not all stops have ticket offices, some consist simply of a platform, sometimes even without a roof. A few of the stops are connected with railway stations, as the SKM tracks and long distance and local trains lines are parallel. A high platform is built on these stations in order to service SKM trains. Over 90% of stops are connected with other transport services (both buses and trams, or trolleys in Gdynia). For major stops, the timetables of the two services are synchronised, especially when comes to night connections. The company makes big effort to keep passengers well informed. Informational tables, price lists and timetables are changed as soon as the previous is out of date or destroyed (what unfortunately occurs quite often).

The stops on Gdańsk-Nowy Port line are no longer used, as the line is closed and despite their antique character (those stops were built before launching SKM service in Gdańsk) most of them are now ruined.

Gdańsk Nowy Port stop was the first one to be closed, when the line was shortened in 2000.

History

Before 1945

First works on building additional tracks for urban transport on Gdańsk - Sopot route begun in 1912 (station tracks modifications and tearing down buildings on planned route). The project was interrupted by the outbreak of World War I. In the interwar period, transport was completely divided between the Polish zone and the terrain of Danzig. Despite the fact that rail transport in Gdańsk was serviced by PKP, its authorities did not decide to connect their city with Gdynia by a rail service. World War II led to a terrible devastation of Gdańsk, as well as the abolishment of borders dividing Tricity. As a part of war compensation PKP received 189 cars from German S-Bahn trains.

Post war time

First electric train from Gdańsk to Sopot leaves at 11:00 AM on January 2, 1952

Attendants of the first machinist course in 1950

The initial design of urban transport (by prof. Roman Podolski) was to electrify existing tracks, but a more expensive project of building new lines of electrified tracks was forced mainly by Gdańsk Regional Board of National Rail director, Zbigniew Modliński - later Polish Vice-minister of Transport. The S-Bahn trains were refitted, mainly by changing the power supply system from the third rail (as still used today in Germany) to a system utilising overhead lines. Also, the lights were changed from small into larger ones that would conform with PKP standards. Apparently from construction of rail line to Gdynia a rail track to Nowy Port had been electrified. The first depot for German cars was organised temporarily near Gdańsk Zaspa Towarowa station (on the Gdańsk - Gdańsk Nowy Port route). A project to change within 15 years the voltage in power supply lines from 800 V (as in Berlin) into the Polish standard 3000 V was initiated. A total of 80 electric multiple units were refitted. In October 1950, the decision to build a sparate lane for urban transport was taken, and as a result a separate department of Rail Electrification Office was founded in Gdańsk. Until the operation started in 1952 the two-track line was ready only on the Gdańsk - Gdańsk Wrzeszcz distance. The line to Sopot still had only one track. The second track to Sopot was ready in June 1952. Owing to that, the train running frequency rose to 10 minutes. On July 22 1952 two-track connection with Gdynia Orłowo was ready, in 1954 dual-track traffic reached Gdynia Główna station, two years later Gdynia Chylonia, and on December 31 1957 first electric multiple units reached Wejherowo. On the Gdynia - Wejherowo distance SKM ran on rails common with other trains. Rails prepared for urban rail service from Gdańsk to Gdynia had few special features, like curves of a smaller angle, less resistant bridges and a top speed of 70 km/h. Until the 1970s, the ridership continued to grow heavily, which surprised even constructors. In 1959 the number of travellers reached over 50 million passengers annually. About 152.700 citizens were said to live in a distance no larger than 800 metres from SKM stations. More than 40% of the Tricity population used this means of urban transport. However, this lead a problem that is still evident to this day — crowding in the trains. Back in the day, some people were forced to ride on the outside parts of the trains.

Non realised plans

Primary project asset electrification of the line from Gdańsk to Pruszcz Gdański, but as old energy lines was placed to near to tracks and had to be removed the plan was given up. Another project without realisation referred to electrifying Gdańsk - Nowy Port line with an experimenta voltage of 1500 V, but low quality and often brakedowns of cars engines caused the plan to be canceled in 1954. Plans of connecting Wrzeszcz with Kokoszki and Kartuzy were often made in 60s. It is not obvious why this line was not rebuilt and electrified, as the cost was relatively small. More hopes were connected with building so called near sea SKM. It was to run from Zaspa Towarowa to Sopot, east of existing line, and its purpose was to reload crowd on the most crowded section (Sopot - Gdańsk) GdaÅ„sk (Polish pronunciation: (?); German: ; Kashubian: GduÅ„sk; Latin: Gedania; older English Dantzig also other languages) is the sixth-largest city in Poland, and also its principal seaport and the capital of the Pomeranian Voivodship. ...

The 70s and 80s

Changes in number of passengers serviced annually

This was the age of the biggest traffic on lines. Introducing automatic line blockade allowed to increase train running frequency to 6 minutes. The voltage on Gdynia - Wejherowo line had been changed to 3000 V. As a result different EMU types had to be used. However, old S-Bahn trains caused more problems, and the decision to change voltage on the whole line, and as a result to exchange all trains was made. This forced another changes to be made, like lengthening the platforms and building new depots complex in Gdynia Cisowa. A continuation of building the third lane on Gdynia - Rumia distance was also in progress. The day (called by Tricity machinists The X Day) when the change was made was set on December 20 1976. This caused a great disturbance, as the information of stopping the traffic on December 19 did not reach the public, and this was the pre-Christmas time. Thanks to unification, the electric multiple units were able to leave beyond Gdańsk - Wejherowo line, and ride on standard trains rails in case of emergency (as a result regular trains could also ride on SKM rails). In 1975 annual number of passengers travelling by SKM exceeded 100 million people, and it could reach the level of 300 thousand passengers daily. The eighties were the time of recession, not only for railroad. No new investments, except for the ones started in 70s, were made. The electrification of Polish railways was moving fast instead, and the plans appeared to electrify Gdynia - Kościerzyna route. According to started in 1986 first Polish nuclear power plant construction in Żarnowiec three units were heading this city in the period of 1986 - 1990.

The fall of communist regime and the change of economical system brought enormous development of individual motorisation, and as a result decreasing number of passengers in urban transport.

This move was strongly criticised by SKM employees and labor unions, which were afraid that SKM would be incorporated to PKP Przewozy Regionalne (one of PKP Group companies, responsible for local railway connections).
