Train fares and tariffs / SCIC-NRT tariff (with RailPlus) on Italian domestic trains - possible?

« on: March 31, 2016, 12:03:14 pm »

Hello all,

I have a CD InKarta (with RailPlus), and I was thinking if it was possible to get some tickets issued with SCIC-NRT tariff -25% RailPlus discount in Czech Republic, in order to get cheaper and better ticket than the ordinary Trenitalia ticket for Regionale trains in Italy.

Let's say, currently Bologna-Venezia Mestre by Regionale costs EUR 11,55, and it comes with annoying limitations (6 hours validity after validation).
On IDOS, the same route with SCIC-NRT + RailPlus is EUR 8,40, and the ticket validity is 15 days, and it would allow breaks.

This is all nice in theory, but how is it in reality? Can I get such ticket issued in Czech Republic? Has anyone showed such a ticket to an Italian conductor?


Thanks

Train fares and tariffs / Timisoara-Belgrad (via Vrsac) - ticket splitting

« on: July 31, 2015, 04:30:01 pm »

Hello all

I am trying to find the best way to save up on a return trip Timisoara-Belgrad.

Two travellers: 1x 25yo + 1x 17yo.

According to this webpage ( http://serbianrailways.com/active/en/home/glavna_navigacija/putnicki_saobracaj/medjunarodni_saobracaj/cene_prevoza_v01.html ), "Banat Special" is 14€ RT per person.

But with ticket splitting, per person:

Timisoara-Stamora Moravica-Timisoara (5,65 RON * 2 = 11,30 RON = approx. 2,50€) [full fare+advance purchase discount by CFR]

Vrsac-Belgrad-Vrsac 512,- RSD = approx. 4,30€ [round trip fare, source: http://serbianrailways.com/active/en/home/glavna_navigacija/putnicki_saobracaj/unutrasnji_saobracaj/cene_prevoza.html ]

What about the ticket Stamora Moravica-Vrsac? Could it be possible to buy it in Romania before? How much would it be? According to this source ( http://europetrainsguide.com/forum/index.php/topic,704.0.html ), 1,60€ * 2 = 3,20€ for both way (1 person)

Thus, the return trip Timisoara-Belgrad (1 person) would be 2,50€ + 4,30€ + 3,20€ = 10€. Right?

Last thing: are there reduced fares for a foreign 17-yo passenger with ZS and CFR?

General Discussion / Introductions

Hello.
If the admin doesn't mind, I'm starting the first thread in this section.

Let's introduce ourselves!

I'm a 20-yo guy from Bari, southern Italy. I'm addicted to travelling, even if I have almost no spare money.
I usually travel when I find cheap Ryanair/Wizzair tickets and I had some spare money.

My last leisure travel was two weeks Ukraine, with a round-trip to Cluj-Napoca, Romania. I also visited Moldova for one day.
I find the transportation system in that country excellent, despite of the bad roads and the slow trains.

And I want to return there as often as possible, for countless reasons. And maybe it can be a good starting point for Russia and Belarus?
If they only lifted the visa requirement...

Ok, that's enough for now. It's your turn! Who are you? Why are you here? How do you travel?

Train fares and tariffs / Cheapest way from Budapest to Kyiv (and back)

« on: August 04, 2010, 08:26:43 pm »

Hello.
I'm looking for the cheapest way to reach Kyiv from Bari (Italy).

The first part of the trip would be done by plane: Bari -> Budapest (Wizzair).

Then, I guess the most convenient way to reach Kyiv is via Záhony -> Chop.
But what's the cheapest way to do so?

Budapest -> Chop (return ticket) ; what's the price?
Chop -> Kyiv (3rd class ticket) ; I already know how to get the price from e-kvytok.
Or should I split the ticket: Budapest -> Záhony (return ticket) + Záhony -> Chop (return ticket)?

Or maybe buses from Hungary to an Ukrainian border city are cheaper?

Thank you for your help!
