Which tram line? You can go on either one of these tram lines (3,17, )
You will know the right tram to take by looking at the number on top of the tram on either the back or front of the tram.

So if you aren't very familiar with how the tram works here in poland, you should know that the number indicates which tram line it is taking. You should also know that the name of the tram line is the last stop where it will end.
Example tram line number 3 w. It starts in station and ends in w station.
There are two sides, which one is the right one? So you will need to wait at the side of the station where the market is and take the tram that will stop here (and not the one near the parking space)

If you're using card, scan the card inside the tram to pay, right by the tram doors when you enter
