The journey

What the journey actually looks like

Direct or connecting, how far the route really runs, and what happens when a connection is missed.

Direct or connecting
71% of the services we sell on this corridor run through without a change. The remaining 29% involve one connection.
How far it really runs
The route covers 136 km against 118 km in a straight line, a detour of 15 percent. Track and road geometry account for the difference.
Where the change is
Connections are made at Banja Luka, Bihać, Ancona, Zenica. The gap between arriving and leaving is 46 minutes, of which about 5 is walking.
If the connection is missed
The tightest connection we sell here has a 20 percent chance of not being made on the timetable alone. Part of this journey is a self transfer between separate tickets, so leave more time than the minimum and expect to check in again.
First and last departure
The first service of the day leaves Split at 06:13 and the last at 14:00, across 2 departures. The return direction keeps its own timetable, so the times back are not these times reversed.

Where these numbers come from

Derived from service area No carrier record names this exact pair. The operators listed publish a service area covering both places at a distance their mode plausibly carries people, which is evidence that the corridor is served and not evidence of a specific service. Pages state which, because presenting the two as the same thing would be dishonest.

Schedules, seat counts and fares are generated by our own model until the supplier contracts are signed. Places, coordinates, operators, which operator serves which pair, and every distance are real. We would rather say that on every page than let a modeled number pass for a filed one.

On this page
Every figure above was computed for Split to Zadar on September 8, 2026: 136 km of route against 118 km in a straight line, 14 services a day, 5 operators, a cheapest fare of €10.07, and 1h 44m door to door on the fastest mode. The return direction is computed separately and its numbers are not these numbers.

Being on the water gives Zadar a set of days out that do not start at a station. We do not sell those either.
