Anonymous Неожиданно. Мы выехали из Белграда вовремя. Автобус на подъёма ехал со скоростью 20-40км/час. Это было ужасно. При въезде на автостанцию водитель не знал в какие ворота въезжать, потом сдавал назад и искал нужный портал.

Anonymous Corruption. The bus was quite comfortable. The bus driver told my friend that they couldn't get in the bus without the ticket in paper. However, they proposed them to pay extra (250 dinar) so that he could get in. He didn't explain me anything, because he didn't speak English (or he didn't want to), so MY FRIEND had to told me that I had to SUBORN the driver, so that he could look for my name in the list. I swear it is the last time I travel with you.

Anonymous Nice bus! The boarding of the bus was ok and no extra fees charged. The bus was very good, clean and comfortable, and kept it's scheduled arrival in Sofia. Loved how clean the windows were. The staff on board was not good in English.
