What Public Transportation Options Are Available In Bratislava?
Metro Bus:

Keen on establishing a sustainable and cost-effective commuter system, the city introduced metro buses that facilitate a high percentage of local commuters. A ticketing machine has been installed right next to the Bratislava Airport exit and there is a bus stop nearby. Passengers are to stamp their tickets inside the bus (in a machine dedicated for that purpose) and there is no need to stamp a new ticket when changing lines. Your ticket is valid for buses, trams, and trolley buses for a set period of time. Different types of tickets are available depending on the need: short-distance travel (15-90 minutes) or long-distance (24 hours). Tourists can also get a 72 hour ticket which saves them the trouble of finding ticketing machines every now and then. Keep in mind that only red machines accept payment in both cash and credit. Yellow machines only accept coins. Also there will be a separate ticket for luggage. Another good option for sightseers would be the Bratislava card that will get them further discount.

Trolley-Bus:

Facilitating commuters on other planned routes besides those served by the metro bus, trolley-buses run on their own dedicated lanes. Boosting capacity and reducing highway congestions, trolley-buses are another favourite among foreigners. The same ticket that is used for metro buses is used for trolley-buses. Platforms are designed with regard to the convenience of handicapped people.

Taxi:

Taxis offer faster mobility and immediate access to attractions and lesser populated areas where public transport does not operate. A taxi can be expensive especially if you get one from the airport. Unless you are in a hurry, try waiting for a metered taxi.
