The first train within the Czech rail operator RegioJet's seasonal train service on the Prague- Zagreb-Rijeka/Split route arrived in Rijeka on Saturday morning, bringing more than 150 travellers to this northern Croatian seaport.
On Saturday afternoon, the RegioJet train is expected in Split.
Over 30,000 tickets have been sold to date for this train service this summer.
Last year, more than 60,000 passengers rode on this route.
In mid-May, Croatia's HŽ Putnički Prijevoz (HŽPP) rail passenger transport company signed a cooperation agreement with the Czech rail operator RegioJet on the train service on the Prague - Zagreb -Rijeka/Split route, after their successful cooperation last year.
The cooperation between the two railways will continue until 30 September and a total of 176 trains will be made available.
Trains will run three times a week in both directions during May and June while daily trains will run in July and August.
An agreement of partnership was signed by the two railways companies on a 10-year cooperation and partnership in activities and projects related to organising and promoting tour trains in Croatia.
