Taxis are also available, the taxi ranks are located in front of the terminal. ARRIVING IN BRNO BY TRAIN Brno is a very important railway junction. Being a major domestic and international train hub located in the very centre of the city, international lines operate here. All Eurocity trains stop in Brno. There are good connections from the direction of Vienna, Bratislava, and Prague. ARRIVING IN BRNO BY BUS Several domestic as well as international bus operators provide their services at the two main bus termi- nals; the Brno Zvonařka bus terminal and the Brno Grand bus terminal – located on Benešová street (by Grand Hotel Brno).

The journey takes about 2.5 hours by both bus and train. Travelling from Prague to Brno by bus Buses in the direction of Brno depart from the Florenc Main Bus Terminal at least every 30 minutes.

With a great variety of different flight operators, the chance of finding a more convenient flight to Vienna rather than Prague is high. TRAVELLING TO BRNO FROM VIENNA BY BUS Getting to Brno is very easy as there is a direct RegioJet bus leaving for Brno from the Vienna Airport. The bus leaves every 2 hours and the bus stop is located in front of the new Arrivals Hall. The journey takes approximately 2.5 hours and costs 16 EUR.

The fare is around 28 EUR. 6 TRAVELLING VIA BRATISLAVA FLYING TO BRATISLAVA Another closely located airport is the Bratislava Airport in Slovakia. If you arrive at the Bratislava Airport, you will need to use the public transport in order to get to the city centre from where buses and trains leave for Brno. PUBLIC TRANSPORT IN BRATISLAVA The easiest and fastest way to get to Brno is by train. Bus line number 61 links Airport Bratislava with the city centre in the direction of the Main Train Station.

There is no direct line, therefore, connections with one change on the way are sug- gested at this link. Several bus companies operate on this route, however, we recommend the RegioJet buses. The journey takes 2 hours and 15 mins. The price varies between 6 to 9 EUR depending on how early you purchase your ticket. There are other transport companies that operate buses from Prague, Vienna, or Bratislava to Brno (for example: Tourbus or Eurolines), however, HANDY TIP – for your comfort – we generally recommend using the services of the RegioJet bus operator. DEPARTURE & VISA INFORMATION Departures are scheduled for Sunday, 30 July 2017, all day. If you are planning to book a flight from Prague, Vienna, or Bratislava, we would recommend choosing one that departs after 12:00 to avoid trans- fers in the early morning.

Five in-depth case studies (Hongkong, Tokyo-Narita, London- Heathrow, Chicago- O’Hare and Paris-Charles de Gaulle) and eight smaller case studies (Kuala Lumpur, Seoul, Shanghai-Pudong, Bangkok, Beijing, Rome- Fiumicino, Istanbul-Atatürk and Munich- Franz Josef Strauss) are conducted. The thesis builds on existing literature that compares airport-rail links by explicitly considering the influence of the institutional environment of an airport on its ground access situation and by paying special attention to recently opened dedicated airport expresses in Asia.

  • Bat Casualties by Road Traffic (Brno-Vienna)
    Acta Theriologica 54 (2): 147–155, 2009. PL ISSN 0001–7051 Bat casualties by road traffic (Brno-Vienna) Jiøí GAISLER, Zdenìk ØEHÁK and Tomáš BARTONIÈKA Gaisler J., Øehák Z. and Bartonièka T. 2009. Bat casualties by road traffic (Brno-Vienna). Acta Theriologica 54: 147–155. We studied the impact of road E461, Brno-Vienna, on bat mortality, with the goal to predict this impact after the road has been reconstructed and turned into highway, R52. In the Czech territory, two proposed road sections of E461 were selected, 3.5 and 4.5 km long, and divided into segments 100 m in length. Bat carcasses were picked up from emergency stopping lanes, and bat activity was recorded by ultrasound detectors along the road and 100 m away on both sides from the central strip. From May to October 2007, 25 checks of bat mortality performed at weekly intervals revealed 119 bat car- casses representing 11 or 12 species. Pipistrellus nathusii, P. pygmaeus and Myotis daubentonii were the most frequent traffic casualties. The greatest mortality was documented from early July to mid-October, with a peak in September. Monitoring bat activity by ultrasound detectors (one night per month in May, June and September) yielded 12 bat species and 3 spe- cies couples (Myotis mystacinus/brandtii, M. emarginatus/alcathoe, Plecotus auritus/austriacus), mostly the same taxa as found dead on the road. Signifi- cantly greater bat numbers were revealed in the section where the road was situated between two artificial lakes, as compared to a road section without any lakes directly adjacent to the road.
