Nearly all buses are Karosa type, without air condition, without toilette, only long-distance lines are equipped with somewhat better buses. Buses on longer routes have several stops - be sure to get back on time, while drivers do not check for missing passengers. The same advice about toilettes mentioned in the train paragraph above is valid also for toilettes at the bus stations. On local connection you buy ticket from driver. Passengers with seat reservations are boarded first.
Foreigners usually pay higher fare on int'l lines than Slovak residents.
