Streamlined and timely service. It was easy to spot the bus at Bansko train station as it is not a very busy station and the bus was clearly labelled with the bus company name and logo. The bus came on time and arrived on time into sofia, allowing plenty of time to explore the city before dark in the summer. There are no phone/ device charging ports on board. So make sure to to be charged before you go!

Violent Driver. The driver was physically aggressive with someone who wanted to get on the bus, but was, for reasons I don’t know, not allowed to. The guy was definitely troubled and seemed drunk, so totally get he was not allowed. The bus driver pushed him and touched his head. When the bus drove off and the young guy showed his middle finger, the bus driver stopped the bus abruptly, got out and ran to the guy to fight him! Luckily we were a few people intervening and the guy was not badly hurt. So unnecessary. Also racing down the mountain roads, I felt unsafe with an impulsive, reactive, aggressive driver.

Transfer to Sofia. it was excellent value for money and the bus turned up on time at the departure bus station, and arrived early in Sofia. The driver did not check us onboard and there were several people sitting in the wrong seats and the passengers had to then ask them to move.. which they did, but some were reluctant to do so.
