Koleje Małopolskie (KMŁ; Lesser Poland Railways) is a regional rail operator in the Lesser Poland Voivodeship of Poland.[1]
History
The company was founded on 2 December 2013 and is owned by the Lesser Poland Voivodeship, to handle local passenger traffic in the Voivodeship. It started operations on 6 November 2014. The railway was founded to reduce the congestion on the Kraków - Wieliczka line, reducing the travel time to 21 minutes. The Wieliczka Salt Mine connection is considered to be the main popular station, the local council built a new Park & Ride near Wieliczka Park and Wieliczka Rynek railway stations.[2]
