Where these numbers come from

Places, coordinates, operators, which operator serves which pair, and every distance on this page are real and come from open data. Where a corridor has a filed timetable the departure times are real too, and ferry fares are the prices the operators publish themselves.

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.

Where no operator publishes a fare for a corridor, the price here is our own estimate, worked out from the real distance and the real operator through a fare curve that follows lead time, day of the week and season. It tells you roughly what the journey costs. It is not a seat anyone has agreed to sell, and the payment step will not take it.

Every figure above was computed for Tehran to Baku on September 18, 2026: 554 km of route against 538 km in a straight line, 3 services a day, 2 operators a cheapest fare of €51.47, and 4h 17m 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 Baku a set of days out that do not start at a station. We do not sell those either.
