Transport<br />
From Lublin railway station, ten trains depart each day to Warsaw, and three to Kraków, as in other major cities in Poland. Lublin has also direct train connections with<br />
Rzeszów, Szczecin, Gdynia and other Polish cities and towns in the region as Nałęczów, Chełm or Zamość. Long-distance buses depart from near the Castle in the Old Town<br />
and serve most of the same destinations as the rail network. The express train to Warsaw takes about two and half hours. [18] The Lublin Airport is located in Świdnik, about<br />
10 km (6.2 miles) SE of Lublin. There is a direct train link from the airport to downtown.<br />
Roads<br />
As of 2009 no motorways or expressways connect the city with the rest of Poland. In the coming decade the construction of<br />
expressways S12, S17 and S19 will improve road access to the city. On 17 December 2009 the bidding process for the<br />
construction of S17 expressway around Lublin was started. The construction began in 2010 and was finished in 2014. The<br />
project included a high capacity bypass road around Lublin, removing most of the through traffic from the city streets and<br />
decreasing congestion.<br />
Lublin is one of only four towns in Poland to have trolleybuses (the others are Gdynia, Sopot and ychy). T [19]<br />

motifs with eastern Russian-Byzantine styles, reinforcing how the city connects the West with the East.<br />
