Bratislava Integrated Transport

Bratislava Integrated Transport (Bratislavská integrovaná doprava a.s). was established on 30 June 2005 with the aim of integrating transport services in the Bratislava region. As stated in its articles of association, 65% of the company is owned by the Bratislava Self-Governing Region and 35% is owned by the city of Bratislava. In 2009 the company changed from being a limited liability company to a joint-stock company. Its share capital amounts to 33,195€.

The company performs tasks and activities related to the implementation of an integrated transport project based on its contractual relationships with its transport clients – the city of Bratislava; the Bratislava Self-Governing Region; and the Ministry of Transport, Construction and Regional Development of the Slovak Republic – and with key providers in the region such as Bratislava Transport Company (Dopravný podnik Bratislava), Slovak Lines and Slovak Rail (Železničná spoločnosť Slovensko). Other transport companies will be able to join the project as needed.

Since the launch of integrated transport, Bratislava Integrated Transport has been in charge of coordinating transport services in order to maintain them.
