Which option is best?
For this particular route, public transport is genuinely good.
- Best value: train
- Alternative: bus
- Most direct: car or private transfer
If you are travelling alone and staying near both railway stations, the train often makes perfect sense.
If several passengers are travelling together, you have luggage, or your final Celje address is not near the station, a direct vehicle becomes more convenient.
Not every route needs a taxi. Celje has a railway station for a reason. 😄
