Dear IMHD,

Can I get a GPS coordinate for Hodzovo námestie bus and trolleybus stop?

I am looking for to hearing from you soon!
Thank you!

48.149029, 17.107107 - towards SAV & Central Station
48.147991, 17.106914 - towards Zochova & Petrzalka
48.148141, 17.108191 - towards Kollarovo namestie & Bus Station
48.148535, 17.108277 - towards the castle

Thank you very much!

Can I walk much to walk from bus to trolley bus stop towards the castle or are the stops in one place?
And one question: What do the reduced tickets mean?

Buses stop at different place than trolleybuses at Hodzovo namestie. This will mean short walk across the square, or via underpass. Trolleybuses towards the castle stop in front of presidential palace, you can't really miss it.

Reduced tickets are valid for selected groups of passengers such as students, invalids and seniors. These discounts are in theory available to all EU citizens, but obtaining required documents is quite a hassle for foreigners, so unless you are staying for an extended period of time, it's not worth it. Exceptions are people over 62, who only need their ID to use reduced tickets.

The bus stop shelters (The Central Station & SAV) are visible next to the gate with golden application. The bus stop for another direction (Zochova & Petržalka) is located in the passage on the right of the EY building (the ceiling is visible on the panorama). Both trolleybus stops (Kollarovo námestie & Castle) are located in front of the TATRA BANKA building. The entrance to underpass is located on the trolleybus stop (Castle) and you can get either to another trolleybus stop (Kollarovo námestie) or to the bus stop in the EY building passage (Zochova & Petržalka). Though the bus stop for the central station direction is not directly connected to the underpass, it is connected with the opposite bus stop via pair of pedestrian crossings.

Hope it is clear now.

I have some questions:
These roules about zones are not clear for me.

So I ask shortly: If I woluld like to go from the airport to the main city (for example to main station) and then somewhere from main city (f.a. Old Town Hall) to Devin castle and then to the bus station - will be enough if I buy 24 hours tickets for 3,50 eur ? or should I buy ticket for 6,90 eur ?

You only need ticket for 3,50€. This ticket is valid for zones 100 and 101, which cover all of Bratislava (including airport).

Do you respect student cards of other countries as a confirmation of being a student? Or do I need to have f.e ISIC or EURO26?

Hi,

I will be arriving early on New Year's Eve (31.12.2017 Sunday) but when I search for 61 bus times from Letisko / Airport I get a "We are sorry, but no connection has been found." error.

Are there no number 61 buses running that day or is there a mistake on the journey planner?

Best regards,
Mark

61 will operate, the reason why you can't find it is probably that New Year's Eve timetables are not uploaded yet. Don't worry, all services will operate as on any other Sunday (and nighttime service will be increased).

Hi!
I'm going to travel to Bratislava this summer, and I need to know if I can use "24 hours ticket" to go to Devin (I want to visit the Castle) from "Most SNP" or I need a different ticket?
If I can arrive there with the day ticket, which one I must buy?

Validity Basic Reduced
24 hours / 100+101 3,50 € 1,75 €

24 hours / all zones 6,90 € 3,45 €


Thanks

Devin is part of Bratislava, so day ticket for Bratislava (3,50€) will be sufficient.

A handy rule:

All routes with one-digit and two-digit numbers (except a particular section of the line no. 37) fall into 100+101 zones (Bratislava). Furthermore all trolleybuses numbered from 201 to 212. Without single look to the map.

If you wish, you can also use other public transport vehicles + trains, but all of them runs beyond the boundaries of Bratislava and thus you have to check the list of stops and its regional assignment over.?

Hi, I have an emergency and hope you can help with this. Last thursday at 1:10pm I left (and lost) my wallet in one of your buses when going from bus station to city center. It is of crutial importance for me to get it back because my Ecuadorian ID and other legal documents were there.

If possible please check with drivers if they know about any lost wallet.

Bests, Adolfo

Hello, don't hesitate to contact +421 259 505 950 and give them the route number. They will be able to find the depot the vehicle went for parking that night and they may have the wallet waiting for you in their office.

Hello good people of imhd, I am travelling to Bratislava to celebrate New Year's Eve and I don't seem to be able to find out what the exact public transport restrictions are, all I can see is that on the 31st of December there will be a different service. Can anyone direct me to the detailed information on possible service changes for the 31st and the 1st?

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from a Spaniard in Poland!

Service will be mostly normal on both days. On 31st December it's a regular weekend service, with some extra night departures. Routes 24, 25 and 92 won't run but it's unlikely you would need those as they primarily serve Volkswagen factory.

Similarly 1st January will be on standard weekend schedules. Routes 1 and 4 will be diverted in the city centre during the afternoon (presumably to due some kind of event), which may affect you. Route 69 won't run, but again, that's not really relevant for tourists (it serves a shopping area at the outskirts of town).

Have a great trip and enjoy the city - but count on almost everything being closed on the 1st

Superb! Thanks a lot!!

Can I buy a 168 hours ticket at the ticket office at Hlavna stanica or only in the app?

I strongly recommend using the app, because electronic tickets don’t have the risk of being lost or damaged by water or heat. All tickets can be bought in ticket offices.

Only in the app.

That’s actually right, it’s the only ticket to be available solely in the app. The ticket office would only be able to sell you multiple 72-hour tickets instead.

Thanks. In the app, I can buy the 168h ticket without extended registration for a Travelcard?

Yes, select "Single Journey Tickets" an then "Day tickets". 168h tickets are at the bottom. The time validity begins with the purchase of the ticket.

Dobré ráno,
Gratulujeme k vašej stránke. je mimoriadne kompletný, najmä pre nás nadšencov dopravy. Ohromne mi pomohol, keď som minulý rok prvýkrát prišiel do Bratislavy. Skutočné potešenie hľadať a nájsť typ vozidla a všetky informácie, ktoré s tým súvisia.
Ešte raz gratulujem a ďakujem za túto prácu. Mám otázku ohľadom historických liniek A, H a M. Budú cez víkendy aj toto leto v prevádzke? Rád by som to opäť využil a možno objavil nové vozidlá, keď sa toto leto vrátim do Bratislavy.
Mám druhú otázku: Mám zbierku uniforiem MHD a polokošeľa DPB sa mi zdala veľmi pekná. Hľadám teda jednu do zbierky. Môžem kúpiť, ak je ponúknutá cena primeraná alebo vymeniť napr. za prepravné polokošeľu Nice. Bolo by teda možné cez vaše fórum mi dať kontakt na agenta DPB? Zanechaním odkazu, ktorý ide týmto smerom.
Vopred dakujem za odpoved.
Do skorého videnia.
(Som Francúz a používam automatický prekladač, ďakujem za zhovievavosť v prípade chýb).

Dear Operators,
I'd like to ask information about ticket purchasing. How I can buy the 24h family ticket online? I didn't find it in the app. When does the validity of 24h ticket start? Can we use only a mobile phone for the whole family? (Of course we will travel together)
Regards, Gabor

Hello, there is NO 24-hour family ticket available. REGULAR 24-hour tickets are valid for one person during workdays and for up to 5 people on weekends. It is the same ticket and you DON'T have to purchase any family options.

I will add that the condition is that at least one person over 18 and at least one person under 18 are present AT THE SAME TIME in the same vehicle. The ticket is not valid for 5 children only or 5 adults only.

Possible combinations are:
1 adult + 1, 2, 3 or 4 children
2 adults + 1, 2 or 3 children

The validity of the ticket in the app starts immediately at the moment of purchase. The other option is to set a delay for a validity start up to 90 minutes from the time of purchase, manually.

Bus number 6859 route 42 towards C. Most.

Driver was rude and unfriendly. Asked a woman with a baby carriage and a small dog to exit the bus for no discernible reason. Dog was a small french buldog. And was i no way affecting other passengers. Infact if anything it was the driver that made passengers feel uncomfortable.

Driver was aggressive with horn as well, again, for no reason.

Rather unpleasant and unnecessary.

Was the dog in a box, or did it have a basket on its mouth? However he had to be polite.

I’m really not fond of writing this, but this is, unfortunately, how Slovaks are, especially the drivers of Bratislava’s public transit system. Aggression and impoliteness are quite common here.

Hello, can I use 24hours e- ticket (all zones) for one adult and one 8yrs old children on not working days? Thank's for answer!

Yes, you can, but only on weekends and public holidays, not school holidays. Upcoming public holidays are this Friday and next Monday.

There can only be one baby carriage in the vehicle. Second one only on the responsibility of the driver. Drivers are few and overworked.

Thank's!

Omg it can't be... ENGLISH SPEAKERS LIKE ME!

Excuse me?

Sorry i thought i wouldnt see anyone english who would care about Bratislava mhd

This is a Slovak website, but has a pretty good English translation.

Hehe.

I mean they dont show 99% of the news on the English version so i go to the slovak one and google automatically translates it

Your English doesn't seem to be very native.

Well im Bad a speaking any laungue

I am from Lithuania, I am 63 years old. Will the reduced fare for the all-day ticket apply to me?

Yes.

this is eu I don't see the reason not to speak english to whoever is downvoting us I will upvote you.

here is the example when poor foreigner gets on a bus tired from working entire day they are not impolite towards them

The fact that English is one of the official languages of the EU doesn't mean you can force someone to speak English to you. Otherwise I can demand that you speak Italian to me, right?

The bus driver is not obliged to provide information. He doesn't have time for that. Neither in Slovak nor in English. People who don't know how to look up information in google maps won't understand his answer anyway. Drivers have tried it and that's why they usually don't communicate with foreigners.
It's not an attack on any particular person, they're just working a lot of overtime hours and they're tired.

You need to try I am italian let's see what happens. I don't care what language you speak, if you insult a girl on the bus you should work as garbage driver.
