Buy the 60-MINUTE ticket, not the 30. The bus is timetabled at 27 minutes on most weekday runs, the ticket must be valid when you board, and the Old Town is another ride beyond the station. EUR 1.80 removes the whole problem.
A checked bag needs its own EUR 0.60 ticket. The free allowance is smaller than most cabin luggage.
From three people with luggage, the Slovak Lines shuttle to Nivy is cheaper — EUR 1.35 a head with bags included.
The SMS ticket is the same price and lasts 40 minutes, but only works from a Slovak mobile number.

From three people with bags, this is the cheapest way in: EUR 1.35 a head with luggage included, against EUR 1.80 on the bus once the luggage ticket is counted.
It runs eleven to thirteen times a day against the bus's 142, so it is the cheaper option only if one is leaving when you land.
Nivy is the bus station, not the railway station — a different part of the centre. Check which is nearer where you are staying.
No hours are given here: the operator's timetable changes on 19 September 2026 and was not stable enough to record.
