Herceg Novi to Kotor Destination Reviews

A huge waste of money. I liked that the car was comfy. I didn’t like that I bought tickets on traveling and that once at the bus station i had to buy another ticket, I want to be refunded because I have paid four tickets between kotor and herceg novi and each time my bus was cancelled and I’ve been told to buy another ticket even more expensive. I have waited 3h30 at bus stations because of your website and lost 40€. That is a shame.

Not a direct trip, the bus did not take me to the destination I selected. I booked a ticket from Herceg Novi to Kotor, but the bus did not take me there. The driver told anyone who was going to Kotor to get off the bus when we arrived at Tivat and we were told to wait for another bus to take us to our final destination. At no point when buying the ticket did it say that it would be necessary to change buses. I waited for 30 minutes at the bus station in Tivat and when no bus arrived I eventually took a taxi as I did not want to waste my holiday stood at a bus station. This taxi cost me €30 that I should not have had to spend because I thought I had already bought a ticket to my final destination (Kotor).

No air con, unsafe driving and difficulty changing ticket (even though we paid extra). Bus was on time. There was no air con and it was a hot day, so the whole hour-long journey was uncomfortable. The driver was generally a safe driver but when other dangerous drivers were over taking and coming towards us, he made almost no attempt to slow down to avoid a collision and we came within a couple of feet of a crash. Also, we paid extra for the flexible ticket option but when we went to change the ticket time for our return, we got a message saying that because we'd already completed the first leg of our journey, we had to contact customer support but we didn't have time to go through that process. It should be much quicker and easier to change.

The driver was abusive. He screamed at me for about two minutes and tried to refuse to let me on. Public transportation is better for the environment. Next time I'll drive. This was a horrendous experience. I purchased a ticket for this particular bus because the GetByBus platform indicated that it was a mobile ticket. However, when I tried to get on the bus I was informed I had to go to the ticket office to have the ticket printed. I had to stand in a long queue and pay €2 to print the ticket and almost missed my bus. This was additional stress. Then, when I made it to the bus with my paper ticket the bus driver started yelling at me and pointing to the luggage hold and barred me from the bus with his arm. I eventually figured out that he wanted €1 for the luggage. I tried to communicate via Google Translate to ask if he had change or if I needed to go back to the ticket desk to pay. He refused to look at my phone screen with the translation and continued to scream at me and wouldn't let me take my bag out of the luggage hold, or get on the bus. I was very confused and the screaming was completely unnecessary. I overpaid just so I wouldn't miss my bus. I will never use this service again.

The journey was trouble-free. your application collected a commission by selling a mobile ticket without informing you that the ticket should be printed, for which a fee of EUR 2 per person was charged at the station. The competition knows about fees at stations, but you do not.

Tidy and comfortable bus ride. As tourists the staff at the ticket office were very rude and not very forth coming with information. Basically couldn't be bothered talking to us. The extra charges of $3 euro to leave the station is a real rip off and as we brought the tickets on line we then had to print them! With the amount of tourists the bus companies need to go electronic!

Ticket Issue. Despite booking on line and receiving QR codes as tickets which the app stated would be scanned by the driver as it was a paper free journey. I had to purchase paper tickets at the bus station as they would not let me travel without a paper ticket. I attempted to email the tickets from the app to the cashier at the ticket office and despite receiving the email as she could see my name and despite showing the QR codes she would not honour this ticket so in order to complete my journey I had to re purchase tickets. I would therefore request my on purchase price to be refunded.

Travelling by bus essentials

  • If you are planning to travel during the high season, weekends, or national holidays, booking your bus tickets in advance is highly recommended. The demand is at its highest, yet very often, the number of coaches serving the route remains the same. The earlier you reserve your seat, the better. On some routes, you need to secure your ticket more than a month in advance; on others, a couple-of-days advanced booking is enough. During such periods, try to book online beforehand whenever possible, as showing up at the bus station without a ticket may result in many-hours of waiting in the queue or leave you downright stranded.
  • VIP, 1st, Gold, and similar bus tickets are the most expensive option, but they provide a higher level of comfort. Normally the price of such tickets will include wide soft reclining seats, blankets, water and snacks or lunch, and sometimes some toiletries. Upper-class buses travel faster, make fewer stops during the route, and normally provide more spacious seating to their passengers and a better travel experience.
  • Not all buses have an on-board toilet, but generally, for all trips longer than three hours, all operators schedule a bathroom and/or a lunch stop. While operators definitely do their best to keep on-board toilets clean, the smell may be an issue sometimes. For longer trips, booking a seat a bit farther from the toilet may be a good idea. Also, using bathroom stops for your toilet needs is always better than trying to find your balance in an on-board toilet on the run.
  • If you travel by an air-con bus, make sure to pack layers. A hoodie, a warm scarf, or a beanie hat may prove a good idea. Air-conditioning on buses tends to be excessive, and running nose and sore throats abound after even not the longest bus rides.
  • Always use the security belts even if your bus ride attendant or driver does not insist on it. Your safety comes first – for you, for sure. All buses normally are equipped with security belts, but they may be fixed behind your seat. Take time to find the belt and fix it appropriately.
  • To avoid being disturbed by overhead lights, switched on during stops even at night, and too loud music or sound from the on-board entertainment system, have earplugs and a sleeping mask at hand.
  • As a courtesy to other passengers, avoid using strong perfumes or smelly foods. Some foods like cheeses or durians are forbidden to take on-board – check in advance. Alcohol is also prohibited on the majority of buses.
  • Note that if the bus requires refuelling en-route, passengers will be asked to get off the bus. Operators are not allowed to refuel with passengers on board due to safety reasons. Usually, it takes from 5 to 10 minutes and is often combined with a toilet/lunch stop.
  • If not stated otherwise in your tickets, arrive at the bus station 20-30 minutes before departure. It will give you enough time to find the departure platform and check-in. For international trips, you may need more time for check-in and border formalities.
