How to get to SUZA

Here is a printable version of the information below

By a taxi (cab)

All official cabs in Bratislava have a yellow light on the roof with a sign TAXI. There are two types of cabs in Bratislava. The first comprises cabs organized in taxi companies; the others are independent cab drivers. The former ones have a fixed price per km, the price varies slightly with individual companies. Each of these cabs has a 5-digit phone number on its door, the first two digits being 16. The independent cab drivers do not have any phone number on the door of their cars and they are allowed to charge customers any amount per km and might charge much higher fare than organized cabs.

Ask the driver to take you to SUZA, Drotarska cesta 46. The organized cab driver will charge you about 550 SKK from the airport, about 300 SKK from the bus station, and about 200 SKK from the railway station. There are plenty of organized cab drivers at the airport. At the bus station look to your right when you get off the bus, still inside the terminal, there are some organized cabs there. More organized cabs wait outside of the building. There are plenty of both types of cabs at the railway station.

To take public transport you need to get a ticket before you get on a bus (trolleybus, tram). You can get a ticket at slot machines which accept only coins. At the railway station and the bus station you can get a ticket at stalls as well. Ask for “listok na dopravu”. There is a stall selling tickets next to the bus stop at the airport as well but it is closed on weekends. When you get on the bus validate your ticket in a marker.
