The one-zone tickets do not cover this ride: the airport is in ZET's second zone. Buy the EUR 2.65 two-zone ticket in the Moj ZET app or at a kiosk before boarding and cancel it at the machine by the front door.

Paying the driver costs more: the tickets sold on board are for one zone at a time, EUR 1.99 each, so both zones come to EUR 3.98. The day ticket, EUR 3.98, is valid in the first zone only and does not cover the airport either.

A bag that takes up a place needs its own ticket by ZET's rules, EUR 1.33 a zone by day; what you hold on your lap rides free. Nothing over 80 by 50 by 40 cm or 30 kg is allowed on board.

The timetable gives 28 minutes to Kvaternikov trg; the airport says to allow 45 to 50. For Ban Jelačić Square change there to tram 11 or 12, 7 to 9 minutes more, on the same ticket.

On Sundays and holidays the first bus from the airport is 05:52, not 04:47. The last is 00:32 every night, on the night tariff of EUR 1.99 a zone.

Four people pay EUR 10.60 here against EUR 36 on the shuttle and at most EUR 35 in the airport's taxi; the bus is the cheapest way in at every party size.

Journey

25–40 min

A maximum, not a flat fare: the meter runs, capped at EUR 2.95 to start and EUR 1.95 a kilometre, and may stop short of EUR 35. If the receipt shows more, the airport asks for a complaint with the receipt to feedback@zag.aero.

More than four people, or luggage that does not fit a car, is a van by the airport's rule: EUR 3.30 to start and EUR 2.60 a kilometre, and the only van ceiling printed is EUR 55 to Špansko in western Zagreb, 21 km. Two cars are up to EUR 70.

From four people this beats the shuttle: at most EUR 35 to the door against EUR 36 in shuttle fares; three pay EUR 27 on the shuttle. Bus 290 stays cheaper at every size, EUR 10.60 for four.

The published ceilings are for the listed destinations — the centre, Novi Zagreb, the two stations, a dozen hotels, Arena Centar; anywhere else the meter decides.

Cards and phone wallets are taken, but not every car takes Diners or American Express; ask before the car moves.
