I was doing some calculating, and it seems cheaper to go from Volgograd to Moskva and then onward to Kiev on CityStar, than it is going over Harkov or Dnepropetrovsk. Also, it is far simpler and less time consuming.
Big price increase for City Star ZSSK - RZD from today
Is it a problem to buy the CityStar ticket during the weekend?
How long before can I buy them anyway? 92 days as with DB or less/more?
Hello ,here are a lot of information, that i don`t really get i think. 1. To buy the City Star ticket I have defenitly go to the check republik and buy it there 60 day in advance on a workday? I want to go with my wife on the 6th or 7th of August to Vladivostock and back, so can i buy it in a station near the german boarder on the 7/8 of June? No online booking? My check is not even bad, it is worse. 2. Where do i find the T3 or T4 availibilty in the trains i wanne ride? and can I make the reservations online or the same way in the CR?Hope you have the time to help some slow minded german..
Reservation fares are the same for RZD, UZ are slightly cheaper, for BC I don't know.Unfortunately, no more Kiev/Lvov - Bratislava direct coaches. Even afternoon cross border train Chop - Cierna goes earlier so it's impossible to change from train 7 Kiev - Chop to cross the border to Slovakia. There is additional Moskva - Bratislava coach during summer, and Moskva - Košice during winter.Great (and updated!) source of information:http://dijszabas.uw.hu/dijszabas/index.php

Not a problem at all, ZSSK anyway sells now everything via computer, thus any working ticket counter with access should do fine. For instance official Client Centre in Bratislava Hl. works on weekends (http://www.zssk.sk/sk/informacie-o-cestovani)Quote from: john_st on December 24, 2011, 04:52:11 pm How long before can I buy them anyway? 92 days as with DB or less/more? In this part of Europe usually it's 60 days (same with any East-West ticket), and other ZSSK CityStars are also sold from 60 days in advance, so with ZSSK-RZD it's hardly different p.s. sorry for a bit late reply, we got carried away by the holiday season
Is it a problem if I buy the slovakian CityStar but don't actually use it within Slovakia? Please say no and save me 20€ for a hostel
...but for the Zahony to Moskva part, can I maybe pay any less with some Hungarian tariff than with the slovakian CityStar?
This 60 day thing, does that mean that if my first day of travel is July 23rd and the last is August 24th, that the 60 days start from May 23rd or June 24th?
