Language notes for using Slovenian timetables
Just like any other timetables, Slovenian ones can be a bit complicated and you may need some help reading the service notes. So here a few words, phrases and terms that you may come across.
On the bus or train, “please – prosim”, “thank you – hvala” and a smile will be appreciated. If you cannot pronounce the name of where you want to go, simply point to it on a map or guidebook. Once on the journey it is natural to worry about getting off! – we find that most rural bus drivers will make sure that you get off at the right stop.
We also have a handy Slovene pronunciation guide and a Slovenian vocabulary for walkers on the website, as well as in the book.
