Bus 290 does the trip for EUR 2.65 with the two-zone ticket, 28 minutes to Kvaternikov trg; the shuttle buys a coach with room for bags, a stop beside the bus station and a bus timed to the evening flights, for EUR 9 a head.

After 22:30 there is no timetable: the bus leaves 30 to 40 minutes after each arriving flight, timed to Croatia Airlines' landings, until 01:00. A flight landing later than that has no bus until 06:00.

The bus station is a kilometre and a half from Ban Jelačić Square, with trams outside it; the ZET tram needs its own ticket.

Four people pay EUR 36 here against at most EUR 35 in the airport's contracted taxi to the door, and EUR 10.60 on bus 290.

The online shop closes sales 24 hours before departure and the ticket must be printed; for a same-day ride, ask the driver.
