- if the law or the VOLÁN company’s business terms allow the traveler to travel without any travel identification on a certain line,
- in all other cases of boarding the bus with the purpose of travelling.
With the act of accepting this contract (buying a ticket prior to boarding, booking a seat or boarding the vehicle) you are accepting the terms of travelling. With the validation of the VOLÁN company’s contract the traveler accepts the travelling regulations and follows them.3. The personal transport contract is valid from the point of the passenger boarding the bus with the intention of travelling or in the case of a pass for a certain time or a specific line the scheduled departing of the vehicle from the place of boarding. 4. The personal transport contract is valid till the end of the trip. The trip ends when
