Very rude. The worst bus ride of my entire trip to Croatia After paying 28 euros per person for the bus ticket, when we arrived at the bus, the driver forced us to pay 2 euros in cash for each suitcase we had No one had warned us about this, and we only had 2 euros for a suitcase. Afterwards, the driver's colleague was very stupid and rude to me when he came to check the bus tickets, speaking to me in Croatian and sighing because I didn't understand what he was saying Anyway, I never write reviews of anything, but these people deserve it.

The route. The bus sounded like it was falling apart as it was driving. The smell from the toilet reached all the way to the back of the bus.

Do not recommend. Wouldn’t recommend this bus at all. It showed up late and we ended up reaching Zagreb almost 3 hours later than planned. Even though they were already behind schedule, the driver kept taking breaks and drove super slow, which made us miss our flight home. We were 9 people traveling together, so this turned into a big loss for us. On top of that, no charging ports and no toilet on the bus.

Late. Everything would be fine if it were not for the delay in the split for 37 minutes, and in the backbone for 40 minutes.
