Pula to Rijeka Destination Reviews

The bus itself was absolutely freezing even with my air con turned off. The two members of staff seemed to make undesignated stops along the way to pick up people, which made us over 30 minutes late. They also left late due to allowing customers on who didn’t purchase a ticket and dropped them at undesignated bus station. Would not book again.

Apart from the good price, there was no communication about the connection itself (like where to change or that there were even changes in the connection)

Love the uniform, drivers appeared confident, Professional and very polite. The bus timing schedule helps with my trips to the Rijeka Hospital…perfect! A large van was used for the short passenger list, which is perfectly acceptable, but it was cold. I wore plenty of warm clothes (it’s winter), but it didn’t feel the heater was working very well. my feet were very cold in my winter boots.otherwise, no complaints.

Pula to Riejka. Comfortable journey, pleasant staff. Bus was approx 15 mins late arriving in Pula and therefore more of a traffic jam on arrival in Riejka and instead of arriving at 7.30am didn’t arrive until 8.05. I realise early morning traffic is not your fault but it should be taken into account on your schedules. I had to get to the airport and luckily had allowed myself sufficient time but this could have resulted in a problem catching a flight had I not planned for a possible delay.

On time service. Bus itself seemed a bit dated: couldn’t raise seat backs or armrest. Driver was competent but could perhaps have been a bit friendlier to some customers.
