Here’s an annoying problem with the train officials. In purchasing a ticket from Llubjana (Slovenia) to Budapest (Hungary) via Zagreb (Croatia) everything seemed to go smoothly until Croatian train officials said our ticket was invalid. After some ugliness, a kind conductor let us stay on without paying extra. It seems that to avoid having to pay money to the Croatians for the respective miles travelled on their tracks, the Slovenian train officials create a fictitious route on the ticket which travels almost exclusively through Slovenia (even though there aren’t even tracks on the ticket route). This causes trouble with the Croatian train officials who will then try to get to pay up the difference, with threats of kicking you off in the middle of nowhere (“no pay, no play” was the response I got). Travellers should be aware that their ticket travels the correct Llubjana – Zagreb – Budapest route or carry some Croatian or US cash.
