Public Transport in Bratislava
Bratislava's public transport system consists of 11 tram lines (numbered 1 through 14), 11 trolleybus lines (numbered 201 through 212) and 77 bus lines (59 day lines numbered 20 to 99, 151, 191, X12 and X50 , 20 night lines numbered N21 to N95). The trams operate mainly in the centre of the city, trolleybuses mainly around the hilly parts and buses all around the city and its suburbs.
By western standard the system is quite frequent, with connections running from before 5 a.m. to about 10 p.m. and night buses serving the whole city from midnight. Intervals vary according to the time of day. All connections are operated by the city run DPB (Transport Company of Bratislava).
The ticketing system requires passenegers to purchase tickets ahead of the journey either in ticket machines (coins only) at public transport stops or at newstands. Bus, tram and trolleybus drivers do NOT sell tickets. Basic tickets are SKK 14 (EUR 0.44) for journeys with scheduled duration of up to 10 minutes and SKK 18 (EUR 0.56) for journeys up to 30 minutes.One-hour transfer ticket is SKK 22 (EUR 0.69). A separate ticket is required for large luggage. Children under the age of 6 travel for free and under the age of 15 at a 50% discount. Value fares of one day to one week are also available from SKK 90 (EUR 2.81) to SKK 310 (EUR 9.69). Public transport is free for visitors who purchase Bratislava's official Bratislava City Card (SKK 200 (EUR 6.25), SKK 300 (EUR 9.38) or SKK 370 (EUR 11.57) for 1, 2 or 3 days respectively). For night buses operating after 11.30 p.m. two one-hour
tickets at SKK 22 (EUR 0.69) each are required (or one ticket for holders of monthly
transportation passes).
Immediately upon entering the vehicle passengers must mark their tickets by inserting them in the orange marking machines. These will stamp the time of entry. Ticket inspectors carry out spot checks around the clock and are fond of fining tourists the SKK 1400 (EUR 43.77) fine if they do not follow the procedures outlined above to the letter.
