Two and a half hours standing and waiting for the bus to arrived and when it did no explanation. fellow passengers. driver wouldn’t let anyone sit in front seats and i literally stood for 2.5 hours to get a front seat. So four seats sat empty while everyone was crowded together. Hours late getting to Dubrovnik. Driver was snotty with everyone. Bus was just okay. Since I bought my ticket from you you should be able to give updates on eta’s etc.

Why doesn't this bus stop at Airport. At least in the bus stop outside the airport? Bus was clean and comfortable. Driver was courteous and helpful. Bus was extremely late. Delayed by an hour and 40 mins to leave Kotor. Driver took his time in each stop. Several passengers going to airport were delayed severely, leading to missing the flight. Driver wouldn't stop to let the passenger out/near at Airport. Bus company should change their timetable to reflect the likelihood time of arrival so passengers can plan around true time. Fortunately this time border crossing didn't take long. We have to add 1 or 2 hour to the timetable for border crossing.

Huge delay. Rude driver. Dirty bus. Bus was over an hour late causing us to miss our next bus. Supposed to arrive in Dubrovnik at 12:30 instead arrived at 15:00. Driver was very rude and bus was not clean.

The buy was late 1 hour! After that the total delay was almost 3 hour, because of traffic and border. The ticket was very expensive, the city tour was a running for us.

Bus ride in general was good, however my partners wallet was stolen on the bus from Kotor to Dubrovnik yesterday. Have tried our hardest to contact the bus companies but they aren’t giving us much information or what we should do. We are travelling for a year so losing cash, licences and all our bank cards has really impacted our travel. The fact our wallet was stolen from the bus.

Frustrated. The driving was good. The driver arrived almost 30 minutes late and had a very rude attitude. In addition to the ticket price, we also had to pay €5 per person just to store our bags (which should be included, since it’s the bare minimum to have somewhere to keep your luggage on a bus trip). On top of that, the driver charged another €2 for “printing the tickets” (???) even though the website clearly states that there’s no need to print anything, just show the QR code. In other words, it was clearly a scheme by the driver to pocket extra money from tourists. On top of all this, the bus had dirty windows, several broken seats, and a bad smell.

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.
