ZDiTM

What ZDiTM does

ZDiTM (Zarząd Dróg i Transportu Miejskiego w Szczecinie, the Roads and Public Transport Authority in Szczecin) is a municipal government entity wholly owned by the City of Szczecin (Gmina Miasto Szczecin). It coordinates and manages public transport across the Szczecin agglomeration, including buses, trams, and SKM trains, with operational delivery executed in part through associated entities such as Spółka Tramwaje Szczecińskie. The authority serves residents of Szczecin, Police, Dobra, and Kołbaskowo municipalities, plus tourists and visitors, and is governed by a regulatory monopoly over public-transport coordination within its territory.

Its core technology stack centres on a real-time transit-management platform. This includes a public REST API (v2 active, v1 deprecated through 30 June 2027) exposing stops, lines, trajectories, departure boards, timetable changes, ticket offices, and ticket machines in JSON or CBOR under a CC0 1.0 licence, alongside GTFS static timetable feeds and GTFS-RT real-time streams (trip updates, vehicle positions refreshed ~every 10 seconds, service alerts) in Protocol Buffers. Electronic ticketing is delivered through the SKA (Szczecin Agglomeration Card) smart-card system with personal and bearer variants and e-wallet functionality, the Szczecin Mobile City Card (Poland's first mobile city card, relaunched June 2024), and an SKA online portal. Distribution extends across more than ten ticket offices, stationary and in-vehicle ticket machines, the mobile city-card app, third-party platforms (SkyCash, moBiLET, zbiletem, Jakdojade), private retail resellers, and Google Maps, supported by Atom/RSS feeds for passenger news, driver news, and service disruptions.

ZDiTM's revenue model combines individual fare revenue (single-fare time tickets PLN 3-12, monthly network tickets up to PLN 140, semester, senior, unemployed, and family-programme tickets with discounts up to 99%) with municipal government funding from the City of Szczecin and substantial EU co-funding for capital projects, notably PLN 356.2 million of EU support within the PLN 592.5 million Track Revolution Stage 2 programme covering 23 km of trackway modernization. Ticketing is structured across subscription (periodical tickets) and usage-based (single-fare) tiers, with discounted fares for students, seniors aged 67-70, unemployed persons, and Family-friendly Szczecin participants. Major ongoing strategic priorities include completing the Track Revolution infrastructure programme (planned completion July 2025), expanding express and tourist service lines, and broadening the digital ecosystem through open data and third-party integrations.
