Train fares and tariffs / Dresden/Bratislava v/v
« on: April 06, 2011, 05:10:07 pm »
Fantastic forum. I used travel frequently in the 70's and 80's in Eastern Europe, always trying to buy tickets in Budapest on the old COMECON tariff.
3 years ago I traveled from Bratislava to Dresden. Can't remember what I paid ... maybe you can remind me. But once in Germany I made extensive use of the Laender tickets and noticed that the Sachsen ticket included Bohemia, i.e. the Czech Republic. So for 20 odd euros it was possible for 2 of us (and possibly up to 5) to travel from the Bavarian border to within a short distance of Bratislava.
Does such a trick work in the opposite direction? I just have to know how much money I wasted 3 years ago!!! Though my companion was my then 8 year old son and I am not sure he needed a ticket.
