In the Hebrew Wikivoyage we are currently using this banner instead of the one which is currently used here. Do you think too that this banner would would better than the existing one? ויקיג'אנקי (talk) 15:21, 4 November 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, it's better. Jjtkk (talk) 17:18, 4 November 2013 (UTC)

No map + UFO

There doesn't seem to be a map of Bratislava highlighting the various listings here.

Furthermore, the listing for restaurant UFO says: "It looks like real U.F.O." "Real U.F.O."? There have been no verified and confirmed U.F.O. sightings in human history. Therefore, no one knows what a "real U.F.O." looks like! JIP (talk) 22:18, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

Au contraire! Lots of unidentified flying objects have been sighted. :-) Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:39, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

Compromise proposal: Change it to: "it looks like a cliché flying saucer". And yes there have been sightings of "unidentified" flying objects, mostly during the cold war. Why? Well those were mostly military planes on test runs and releasing any information on them would have given the other side in the cold war a glimpse at "secret" technology, so letting the yokels believe in little green men was seen as the less risky alternative by the government when the alternatives would have been to leave the "unidentified" object a mystery or reveal classified information.

I hope you realize I was being funny. UFO=unidentified flying object, so by definition, any flying object that is not identified is a UFO. As for what a "real UFO" looks like, I don't know, as I always assumed that whatever flying object I couldn't identify was identifiable by someone else.

I know. I think we can stop this silly discussion now ;-) . Many people however think UFO = LGM (little green men) which is obviously not the case but still a commonly held erroneous believe... Hobbitschuster (talk) 23:52, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

An edit that raises questions

this edit seems to get put the URL of one company in the listing of the other and vice versa... Hobbitschuster (talk) 13:24, 7 August 2017 (UTC)

Get in

By plane

Referring to version 13 May 2018:

Vienna International Airport: The official name in German has been Flughafen Wien for some years already. That the airport is located within the area of the community of Schwechat is not important, rather confusing to tourists. The add-on Schwechat was omitted for good reasons. I myself witnessed when a tourist from abroad wanted to get off the train at the station of Schwechat. I could keep him off. Between the station of Schwechat and Vienna Airport there is one more station!

Bus operators There are no more buses running under the Blaguss brand-name on the route to Bratislava. They have joined Flixbus. Student Agency's buses run under the brand-name Regiojet. On 6 July 2016 a new tariff system was introduced by the VOR integrated transport authority, abolishing the zone system. Since then, the price is calculated according to the route.
Links: Some links are mixed up.
I will make the necessary updates. --Railjetter (talk) 13:34, 25 June 2018 (UTC)
