Bratislava public transport map pdf Continue Posted by Lucia November 11, 2018 Rating 93.00% Leave comment Bratislava has built an understandable public transport line system of buses, trams and trolleybuses that pass at regular intervals according to the schedule. Schedule apps are available for both Android and iOS. Most linear public transport stops have a comprehensive brand; including the name of the stop and the schedule with a list of all destinations. Almost all of Bratislava's attractions and main monuments can be reached on foot, but as far as transport to the airport, bus station or main train station, we recommend using public transport lines or taxis. Bratislava has bus, tram and trolley routes from 4:20 a.m. to 11 p.m. After this time you can find bus lines with the prefix N, which means night bus. All vehicles are marked with the number and starting and final name of the stop (in the case of night buses mark: N91, N39, ...). Night buses are reduced and they usually run once an hour. We recommend to arrive at the bus stop 5-10 minutes before departure, it can arrive earlier. Buying tickets Don't forget to buy a corresponding ticket before using the service and mark inside the tram or (trolleybus) bus. You can't buy a ticket from the bus driver; however, this can be done on yellow-coin-driven machines located at most stops, newspaper stands and tourist information offices. Student and children's tickets have a 50% discount (you need a valid ISIC card). At some stops, these machines are missing, so it may be a good idea to have a spare ticket in your wallet. One ticket can be used for any form of public transport in Bratislava, but there are tickets with different expiration date: 15 minutes (0.70 euros) - transfer is not allowed; once you get on the same bus/tram/trolleybus, you can't change to another with the same ticket. 30 minutes (0.90 euros) - transfer allowed, weekend ticket is valid for 90 minutes. 60 Minutes (1.20 Euros) - Transfer allowed, weekend ticket valid for 90 minutes. 24 hours (3.50 euros), 72-hour ticket (8.00 euros) or 168 hours (11.40 euros) - transfer allowed; A good choice for tourists waiting to use public transport more often. This allows you to travel as much as you need on all modes of transport. You can also buy an SMS ticket, but it works only for customers of Slovak mobile operators (T-Mobile, Orange, O2 Telefonica, Tesco Mobile, FunFon). These tickets are valid for 70 minutes (1 euro cost of your prepaid loan) and are transferred between the lines. If you visit Bratislava for a few days and you know that need public transport several times, we recommend you buy a Multiday Travel Ticket for an unlimited number of routes including Buses. You can also buy combined tickets that can be used to travel to small towns and villages near Bratislava, you have to pay for every zone you cross (the city center counts for two), please consult with this card for more information. Check tickets To get /off you can use every door open along the entire vehicle. The ticket must be marked on the nearest ticket marker as soon as you receive it. The marking devices are located at each public transport door and work throughout the trip until the ticket inspector is on the same bus as you, from that point on the marking machines are blocked. If your ticket is not marked or it is no longer valid or you have transferred a 15-minute ticket, you can get a fine. You can pay on the spot or within 5 days, the price is only 50 . If you pay within 5-30 days, you must pay 70 euros at the Bratislava Public Transport Office (DPB). If you don't have cash, they will happily walk with you to your nearest ATM as they have a large commission on your fine. Be careful, ticket inspectors are sometimes rude to tourists. Search schedules, stops and routes If you are unsure of the destination or bus number, you can ask someone who is waiting with you at the stop; they will be happy to help you. Drivers usually don't speak foreign languages and aren't very happy to help you. The vast majority of vehicles are equipped with displays showing the next stop, maps of public transport lines and even the announcement of all stops aloud.

This service is different from public transport in Bratislava - tickets are bought directly from the bus driver, so you have to enter through the front doors (tell the driver the destination. it's good to have coins, not bills, but you'll get your changes back anyway). Bicycles in public transport Carry bikes in public trams or buses for free, but are not allowed during rush hour (you can transport bikes in the form of 9:00 - 13:00, 18:00 - 6:00, weekends and holidays). You need to buy and mark a special ticket and ask the driver to give permission to take the bike inside (it may happen that the place chosen to carry bikes, strollers, wheelchairs is already occupied, so you will have to wait for the next line). A board through the doors with a bicycle sign. You can carry a maximum of 2 bikes in the first tram or the whole bus, so if you are in a large group, you need to split.

More for you public transport in Bratislava is run by Dopravn podnik Bratislava, the city company. The transport system is known as meszcah hromadne doprava (MHD, municipal public transport), and the network is the largest in Slovakia. The history of public transport in Bratislava began in 1895, which at that time was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, with the opening of the first tram route. Public transport in Bratislava is paid and travellers are required to buy tickets before entering the vehicle. Ticket revenues cover about 40% of expenses, while the remaining 60% is paid by the city. A bus leaving a bus stop in Bratislava History Historic Tram Historic Trolleybus In the late 19th century, Bratislava (then Pressburg) is still suffering after losing the status of the capital of the Kingdom of Hungary. Now, as a provincial city of political and economic medium importance, its development lags behind its European neighbors. The main mode of transport at this time was horse and then steam railways. In 1868, omnibuses appeared in the city, but they could not meet the transport needs on their chosen routes. (Clarification required) On March 23, 1881, Nikolaus Markowitz, an engineer from Vienna, submitted the design documentation for the city horse railway in Bratislava to the directorship of the Hungarian State Railways His way was from the banks of the Danube through the city to the Austrian state railway road It was supposed to be connected to the Car Bratislava - Trnava, owned by the Hungarian state railways of the king. In the 1990s, traffic jams became commonplace in Bratislava, affecting public transport vehicles that are stuck in places like Patrenca or Prestavne the most. One of the main factors is the lack of a ring road, which today consists of parts of the D1 and D2 motorways in Bratislava. While the two most important bridges over the Danube River, The Prestauva Majority and laforini Bridge, partially opened in 1983 and 1990, respectively, it was not until 2002 that the Prievoz Viaduct on the D1 motorway opened, the D1 part of Viedensk' - Prestavne most was completed in 2005 and the City completed the tunnel in 2007. Description The system uses three main types of vehicles: buses, trams and trolley buses.
