A train that travels quickly.
خلفية ثقافية
The 'Pendolino' (ICS) is the pride of Slovenian Railways, though it only runs on a few routes. It's the closest thing to a 'hiter vlak' in the international sense. The InterCity (IC) and EuroCity (EC) network connects Ljubljana to Vienna and Munich, making 'hiter vlak' a common term for cross-border commuters. Slovenians often use 'hiter' ironically because the rail system is famously slow due to the mountainous terrain. On a 'hiter vlak' (IC/ICS), seat reservations are often mandatory or highly recommended, unlike on local trains.
