Slovakia
In January 2011, RegioJet won a contract to operate regional trains in Slovakia, on the Komárno - Dunajská Streda - Bratislava route. After a public promotional service in February 2012,[5] their service on this route began on March 4, breaking ZSSK's monopoly in Slovakia.[6] There are plans to win more tenders in Slovakia.[7]
In April 2014, RegioJet announced a plan to run trains on the Bratislava - Žilina - Košice route from December 2014,[8] and from 11th of October 2014 RegioJet started to run one daily train from Prague to Košice.[9] From 14th of December 2014 RegioJet started to run three daily trains from Bratislava to Košice a vice versa.[10]

RegioJet uses 9 3-coach Bombardier Talent DMUs in Slovakia.[11] It has also bought 9 Škoda Class E630 electric locomotives from Ferrovie Nord Milano.[12] The company purchased[13][14] passenger cars of classes ABmz 30-70 (12 pcs), Ampz 18-91 (8 pcs) and Bmz 21-70 (6 pcs) from Austrian Federal Railways. They were transported to the Czech Republic in early June 2011 and late July 2011, going into service in September 2011.
