Editing Ljubljana (section)

==== Trieste ====

The only '''direct''' connection is by bus:

'''1)''' [http://www.veolia-transport.si/Vozni_redi_in_vozovnice/Vozni_redi/Mednarodni_vozni_redi/LJUBLJANA_-_TRST/index.html?iLangID=2 Veolia]: Trieste 14:00 - Ljubljana 16:13, return Ljubljana 6:35 - Trieste 8:50am | '''€11.60''' or '''€13.30'''? | daily Mon-Sat, except Italian public holidays (e.g. 1st Jan, May, Nov, 25-26th Dec - but it goes on 6th Jan and 2nd June)

'''2)''' [http://www.florentiabus.it/eng/firenze-sofia.asp Florentia], every day: Trieste 18:20 - Ljubljana 20:20, return Ljubljana 5:00 - Trieste 6:35am | '''€14.50''' or '''€13'''?, students '''€12.50''', return '''€25.50/23.50''' | make a reservation in advance - this is part of the route Rome - Sofia (Bulgaria), so it can be already full in Trieste or Ljubljana; contact info on the website

'''2a)''' There are also buses to/from [http://www.veolia-transport.si/Vozni_redi_in_vozovnice/Vozni_redi/Mednarodni_vozni_redi/IL__BISTIRCA_-_TRST/index.html?iLangID=2 Ilirska Bistrica] and [http://www.veolia-transport.si/Vozni_redi_in_vozovnice/Vozni_redi/Mednarodni_vozni_redi/PIRAN_-_TRST/index.html?iLangID=2 Slovene coast]


If the bus times aren't convenient or you want to visit some other place before Ljubljana, here are the alternatives (Trieste train and bus stations are next to each other):

'''3)''' By [http://www.sezana.si/dokument.aspx?id=3718 bus via Sežana], [http://www.avrigo.si/index.php?lng=slo&vie=cnt&gr1=nOvi&id=2010020108005964 change]: from Trieste at 8:45, 11:45 and 18:45, from Sežana at 8:00, 11:00 and 16:30, Mon-Sat except public holidays in Italy and Slovenia. On Saturdays also at 7:30, 12:45, 14:00, 14:40 from Trieste and at 6:45, 8:20, 14:10 from Sežana. It takes 30 minutes and costs '''€2.00'''. From Sežana by train (14 daily Mon-Fri, 6-7 Sat-Sun | fast '''€8.46''', local '''€6.86''') or bus (2-3 daily | '''€8.30-8.70''') to Ljubljana.

'''5)''' By [http://www.slo-zeleznice.si/en/passengers/abroad/italy bus via Koper] (bottom of webpage, Mon-Sat except public holidays in Italy) for '''€3.00''', luggage '''€1.30''', then by train (5-6 daily | fast '''€10.11''', local '''€8.51''') or bus (2h20min, '''€10.70-11.10''') to Ljubljana. Bus & train stations in all cities are next to each other.

'''6)''' On Sundays the only alternative to Florentia bus (see #2) is taxi to Sežana. From Trieste it costs about '''€25'''. You can also take the city bus or tram to Opicina, but I'm not sure there are taxis waiting in that place. It works in reverse direction though - there are taxis in Sežana near train station, you can take it only to Opicina for about '''€15''' and then bus/tram to Trieste.

'''7)''' Hitchhiking: From Trieste take bus/tram to Opicina and start there, or bus to Sežana (see #4 above). From Ljubljana take city bus #6 to end station "Dolgi most" and stand with a sign for Sežana or KP (for Koper, get off at Kozina exit) at the motorway on ramp.
