Slovenia to introduce interoperable public transport ticket

Slovenia is to integrate its public transport system with the introduction of an interoperable ticket, which will enable users to use different types of public transport without having to buy separate tickets. The ticket will integrate the use of regular rail and inter-urban bus transport in Slovenia and urban transport in the two largest Slovenian cities in a single system from 1 September. The first phase will introduce a single subsidised ticket for pupils, students and adult learners.
