Starting July 1st, inter-city public transportation will be free of charge for pensioners over 65 and persons with disabilities, all registered athletes attending secondary schools and universities, and university students with motor disabilities.

Prime Minister Janez Janša said the move in line with the road transport act that was passed on October 29th of last year.

Janša said all legal acts enabling the implementation of the act were in the making and the relevant ministry had asserted the act would be implemented as expected.
