Transport in Bratislava

The D4 motorway (an outer bypass), which would ease the pressure on the city highway system, is to be partly finished by 2020 (the southern section with new bridge over Danube river together with R7 expressway and without the planned 10 km tunnel under Small Carpathians).

The Main railway station lies at the edge of Old Town, with lines connecting it to the Czech Republic, Austria, Hungary, Germany and rest of Slovakia; with direct services to Poland, Belarus, Russia, Croatia (Zagreb), Serbia (Belgrade) and Ukraine.

There are also many suburban stations: Devínske Jazero, Devínska Nová Ves, Lamač, Železná studienka, Vinohrady, Rača, Východ, Vajnory, Rusovce, Nové Mesto, Podunajské Biskupice, Vrakuňa, ÚNS and cancelled stations Devínska Nová Ves zastávka, Nivy, Kopčany, Jarovce, Čunovo and Petržalka-Most.

[6] Bratislava is also served by the Vienna International Airport located 49 kilometres (30.4 mi) west of the city centre.

A meadow in front of the Ružinov Hospital is routinely used for landing emergency service helicopters, despite the lack of any kind of description.

The airspace over Bratislava is divided into two parts: the approximately 20 kilometers radius around the M. R. Štefánik Airport, where pilots are required to report to air traffic controllers and the rest of the city, where just a flying permit (Slovak: letové povolenie) is sufficient.

Additionally, tourist lines operate from Bratislava's passenger port, including routes to Devín, Vienna and elsewhere.

[10][11] An additional service, Bratislava Integrated Transport (Bratislavská integrovaná doprava), links train and bus routes in the city with points beyond.
