Slovak Railways to operate regular weekday schedule on May 8 holiday

Slovakia's national railway company ZSSK will run trains according to its regular working day schedule on Friday, May 8, despite it being a public holiday. The railway operator cited the practical needs of passengers who will be traveling to work, school, and other obligations on what is officially a holiday but falls on a regular weekday. ZSSK, which operates passenger rail services across Slovakia, decided to maintain standard weekday service rather than switch to the reduced holiday timetable typically used on public holidays.
