For a single journey (outward or return journey):

• 1 day for distances up to 100 km
• 2 days for distances between 101 km and 400 km
• 4 days for distances of 401 km and longer, for outward and return journeys (return tickets)
• 1 day for distances up to 100 km
• 1 month for distances of 101 km and longer

If a return ticket for distances up to 100 km has been bought to be used during Sunday and national holidays, it is valid from Friday (the day before the holiday) at 00.01h till Monday (the day after the holiday) at 24.00h.

For return tickets with 1 month validity period, outward or return journeys must end within the appropriate period which applies for a single journey: (2 or 4 days, depending on distance), starting from the date indicated on the ticket (for outward journey), i.e. from the date indicated on the ticket after validation made by a travelling ticket inspector (for return journey).

Ticket validity period begins at 00.01h on the first day of ticket validity period indicated on the ticket. The journey must end on the train which, according to the timetable, arrives in an intermediate station on the last day of ticket validity period at 24.00h at the latest.

Single journey ticket allows one break of journey, whereas return ticket allows one break of journey during outward journey and one break of journey during return journey. In both cases it is obligatory, however, to have the ticket validated at the station where the break of journey is made (which is done by the station master or an employee in charge and immediately after alighting from a train).

If the break of journey has not been validated, the ticket will not be valid for continuation of journey, and return tickets will not be valid only for continuation of outward journey. Break of journey will not extend ticket validity period!
