Transport
Bus
Bangkok Mass Transit Authority Bus Line 166 : Muang Thong Thani-Pak Kret-Victory Monument (Sirat Expressway)
Railway
Bratislava-Petržalka railway station is located in the western part of the borough and is used primarily for international traffic and for trains to and from Vienna.
Public transportation
Public transportation uses buses, which connect Petržalka with the other boroughs. In 1989, construction of a subway began, but it was stopped shortly after the Velvet Revolution broke out. Instead, a high-speed tram (light rail) line is planned but its construction has been postponed multiple times because it involves a complete reconstruction of Starý most bridge. At one point it was scheduled to begin in summer 2013.[1][2][3] Test runs of trams across the bridge were carried out in February 2016.[4] Official tram operation started on 8th of July 2016[5]
