PKS almost at a standstill

The lower section is due to open in July, but the upper section will not be ready until September at the earliest, and there are fears that the project could be suspended altogether due to a lack of funds. This would mean the station being transferred to another location, such as Czyże, which could make the city's traffic situation even worse. Earlier this year Budimex-Dromex withdrew from the project, which was 80 percent completed, as the owner, Regionalny Dworzec Autobusowy (RDA), was zł.3 million in arrears. Although RDA has managed to secure new funds, it has taken its toll on the construction schedule, and RDA is still short zł.4.5 million to finish the project. On top of this, the project's cost has increased by another zł.1.5 million. Shareholders in RDA, which include the voivodship, the city of Kraków, and PKS, are locked in a dispute over how shares in the firm are split. It could be quite some time before this traffic jam sorts itself out.
