Croatia: Trains and buses
Croatian railways (Hrvatske zeljeznice) run a smooth and efficient service. Trains ( vlak , plural vlakovi ) are divided into putnicki (slow ones which stop at every halt) and IC (inter-city trains which are faster and more expensive). There's an overnight service from Zagreb to Split, for which places in couchettes ( kuset ) and sleeping cars ( spalnica ) are best booked in advance. Timetables ( vozni red ) are usually displayed on boards in stations - odlazak means departure, dolazak means arrival.Croatia's bus network is run by a confusing array of small local companies, but services are well integrated and bus stations tend to be well-organized affairs with clearly listed departure times and efficient booking facilities. If you're at a big city bus station, tickets ( karta ) must be obtained from ticket windows before boarding the bus. Elsewhere, they can be bought from the driver. It's a good idea to buy tickets well in advance in summer if you can, especially for any services running to, or along, the coast. You'll be charged around 5kn for items of baggage to be stored in the hold.
