Now if people only looked around starting from the link to the wiki
I had already pasted... :)
Here are a few more details: once you exit a train at the central railway
station, you enter and exit one large hall, and after that you immediately
see parked taxis on the road in front of you, and 50m further you see tram
lines and two tram stops. Each of the stops carries a large poster with a
map of tram lines, where the central bus station is marked prominently,
you just have to know the right string to look for (and that string is
indicated elsewhere in our instructions, hopefully clearly enough).
Here's an online copy: http://www.zet.hr/tramvaj/dnevni.aspx or directly
http://www.zet.hr/media/117306/mreza%20dnevnih%20tram%20linija%202011.gif
Notice "GLAVNI KOLODVOR" and "AUTOBUSNI KOLODVOR" right in the middle,
and the two colored and numbered lines directly connecting them... :)
Only two stops are inbetween (two half-circles indicating a set of two
stations one on each side of an intersection, and one full circle).
The map is oriented normally with the north up, so it's literally identical
to how it looks when you exit the train station - you go to to the tram stop
at the right-hand side.
The only reason I didn't expound on this on the wiki already is that
I figured it would be sufficiently easy to figure out for anyone
not scared to engage in international travel in the first place... :)
