Zagreb to Split Destination Reviews

Vozač nije htio stati u Dugopolju, jer je na mojoj karti pisalo Zagreb-Split. Nisam ni znala da postoji opcija kupovine karte do Dugopolja, pa sam zato odabrala Split, ali ok. Nadalje, blizu Vučevice je počeo autobus čudno zvučati, točnije vidno je bilo da s autobusom nešto ne štima.Pitala sam vozača je li sve u redu, a s obzirom na zvuk, na što je on rekao da je sve u redu. Nakon 5 min., morali smo stati jer je nešto puklo (guma ili sl.), naravno nitko nam nije objasnio što je bilo, nego smo prešli u drugi bus koji je došao po nas i nastavili put Splita. Kako je moguće da putnik prije primijeti kvar na autobusu nego vozač? Hvala!!!

We travelled from Zagreb to Split. The bus was on time and there was a stop halfway so we could stretch our legs. The bus driver tried to scam some young boys who were travelling on the same bus. We heard them as they boarded say 60 euros was high for the luggage, we told them we paid 3 euros and they approached the driver who then gave them their money back.

Better than the others. Easy to buy a ticket. Most comfortable ride. Interior like-new. Spacious overhead storage. Smooth suspension.

It would have been nice to have a possibility to charge my cellphone. The ride as a whole + the place approximately halfway, where the bus stopped for coffee/quick lunch + toilet. The landscapes. The lack of phone charging possibility.

Normal journey. The driver and conductor allow me to travel even my traveling schedule is later in my ticket. There's no socket for charging.

The road to Split. The rest stop allowed us to stretch our legs and use the restroom. And buy some snacks. The road seems to be in need of serious repair. Quite a bumpy ride!

driver spike on phone while driving. I got sick an received no assistance. Asked to sit on A1 or A2. Croatia is beautiful. Both drivers spoke on their phones while driving. Driver refused to allow me to sit in front row when I got car sick. He then slept on the 4 front seats and his bags was on the other seat. He ignored me when I asked to be helped. I felt sad for Fixbus!

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.
