TERRIBLE SCHEDULE, travel was supposed to be from 18:20 to 20:05 but we just arrived in Tivat 9:30. I could go from Podgorica to Tivat. TERRIBLE SCHEDULE, travel was supposed to be from 18:20 to 20:05 but we just arrived in Tivat 9:30. They didn’t know what was the ticket I printed as most of people there bought the ticket not online. I had problem with my accommodation as I was supposed to be in Tivat at 20:05. Had to ask people around (passengers) for help as no one working there would speak English. Lesson for me, never trust the time GetbyBus says at the website.

Poor service. We waited for an hour to miss our bus. Apparently you need to print the ticket at the front desk, even if you have the same ticket on your phone. To send the ticket to the front desk, you need internet, which you probably dont have as a tourist, so you need to buy a sim card. All of this takes too long. Just fix a qr scanner, that would be a lot easier.

Awful experience. Bus trip from Podgorica to Tiva was disappointing. It was stated in the ticket that it is electronic and should not be printed. At bus station they told us, that we have to print it and send us to the hotel near the station. They charged 0.50€. After I showed printed ticket to the ticket office they told me that I have to pay station tax - 1€ per person. When I travelled from Tivat to Podgorica I didn’t have any of these problems. Also, the driver was smoking all the way. Very poor experience.

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.
