LEO Express Offers Ukrainians Quick Way Of Traveling To Prague For EUR 15

The LEO Express transport company (Czech Republic) will increase the number of bus services from the Zakarpattia region to Slovakia, with transfers to Prague-bound trains, because of an increase in the volume of passenger traffic on the Mukacheve-Prague route. The bus operator will launch an additional bus service on the Mukacheve-Uzhhorod-Kosice route on December 11, which will enable passengers to travel from the Zakarpattia region to the Czech capital at the cost of just EUR 14.8, the company said.

The bus will depart from Mukacheve at 23:00 and from Uzhhorod at 00:20. It will arrive at the Kosice train station at 04:30 and depart for Prague at 05:00. Thus, passengers will be able to reach the Czech capital at 13:19.

On the way from Kosice to Mukacheve, the bus will make stops in Michalovce, Sobrance, and Uzhhorod.

A LEO Express bus currently runs from Mukacheve to Kosice once per day. It departs from Mukacheve at 17:30 and from Uzhhorod at 18:30 and arrives in Kosice at 22:30.
