I Slovak Investment and Trade Development Agency 1.1. Transport and Infrastructure The Bratislava region is easily accessible by all means of transport. An international airport of national importance is located in the regional city of Bratislava. A harbor on the River Danube is situated within the city, allowing river transport between Bratislava, Vienna and Budapest. Bratislava's main railway station is the biggest railroad hub in the country for the transport of both passengers and cargo. Two main international corridors meet at this point, connecting the Czech Republic with Hungary, Austria and Poland. The region's road infrastructure is under continuous development and improvement. Highways connect the region with the Czech Republic, Hungary and Austria, as well as the rest of Slovakia. The region's road network consists of 100 km of highways and 140 km of first class roads. Telecommunication service providers include Telekom, a.s., Orange Slovensko, a.s., and Telefónica O2 Slovakia, s.r.o.. Rates are the same throughout the country. Gas and electricity supply rates are the same for each whole region. Water supply rates and sewage fees are independent and thus differ from region to region. 2. Economy and Industry Its convenient geographical location was a key factor in the Bratislava region becoming the most economically developed region in Slovakia.
