The dog must be on a tight leash and wear a muzzle (except official service dogs and personal service and therapy dogs).
A ticket for such a dog is purchased with a 50% discount on the ticket price for the 2nd class of the passenger train.
The ticket is purchased at the ticket office or on the train, with the presentation of a pet passport
Dogs without passports cannot be transported on the train.
It is not allowed to put the dog on the seat or a bed.
 

A passenger can travel with only one dog or bring one transport bag or container.
Dogs which are listed as “Dangerous dogs” in the "Other" section on the back of the passport are not allowed to travel by train.
The passenger who introduced the dog to the train is responsible for its behaviour and any damage caused by the dog. Damages shall be charged. 
Animals referred to in points (a), (b) and (c) may be transported in buses operated in place of trains.

  • It is necessary to reserve a section for exclusive use, i.e. to pay the price for all beds.
  • The dog should not be placed on the bed.
