Information for passengers - Basic conditions for using a ticket

 

In the territory of the Capital of the Slovak Republic Bratislava time tariff is applied in city public transportation. The time tariff is performance-related divided into time (tickets for one way with time validity of 15 and 60 minutes, SMS ticket 70 minutes, night transportation 90 minutes and tourist tickets) and zone (prepaid tickets) tariffs. The 15-minute ticket cannot be used for changing the mean of transport; however, other tickets may be used for changing.

The passenger is obliged to buy a one-way ticket, combined ticket, ticket for a defined number of ways prior to getting in the vehicle and immediately after getting in the vehicle the ticket must be marked in the nearest ticket marker. The ticket validity time also includes the time of drive interruption, i. e. waiting at the stop for the next connection. If during the drive the ticket time validity expires, the passenger must mark another ticket.

An unmarked ticket or a ticket marked in the wrong place of the ticket is invalid.

The timetables placed at the public transportation stops lists the transportation time from the starting to the target stop, as well as the tariff zone. This data is binding for judging the ticket validity upon checking by the ticket inspector.

Payment and/or extra charge for not presenting a valid travel document to the ticket inspector is EUR 50. If the passenger pays the fee (extra charge) directly in the public transporation vehicle to the ticket inspector in cash or within the following 5 working days as of the tariff finding at the supplementary fare ticket office of DPB, a. s. (Bratislava Transportation Company, Inc.), the amount of the fee (extra charge) is reduced to EUR 40.

Ticket inspector badge holders of DPB, a. s. being identical with sample No. 1 or ticket inspector identity card holders being identical with sample No. 2 are exclusively entitled to check the tariff tickets of passengers. Time validity is specified in this card. The ticket inspector is obliged upon request of the passenger to present his DPB, a. s. certificate that contains a round seal and original signature of the authorised company employee.

After paying EUR 40 in cash the ticket inspector is obliged to hand over a fee (extra charge) payment confirmation to the passenger that is identical with sample No. 3.

Note: On Saturday, Sunday and on rest days the validity of a 60 minute-ticket is prolonged to 90 minutes.
