Autobus je uredan i komforan. Vožnja je u prvom dijelu puta bila ugodna. Vožnja je bila u redu sve dok vozač nije skrenuo s autoputa i krenuo starom cestom preko Obrovca. Autobus je došao na autobusni kolodvor s 40 minuta zakašnjenja. Obzirom da je puhala bura, možda je to bio razlog za skretanje s puta. Međutim, vozač se apsolutno niti u jednom trenutku nije obratio putnicima s obrazloženjem tako velikog kašnjenja već je samo na dolasku u Zadar, odnosno na kolodvoru rekao kratko stigli smo i doviđenja. To nije bilo profesionalno ponašanje prema putnicima.

Put za Zadar i povratak za Zagreb. Direktna linija koja je trajal sa zakasnjenjem od sat i pol vremena prema Zadru, iz razloga da je sofer sam i u Jastrebarskom smo stajali 20min dok je doticni naplatio karte i onda opet stajanje od 30 min na odmoristu jer nije mogao krace jer Sam vozi da stvari bude bolja isto se dogodilo iz Zara prema Zagrebu bez guzve opet smo dosli Sat i 40min kasnije iskreno zadnja voznja sa Samoborcekom.

A OK. Timely departure, good wifi, charge plugs by the seat. The seating is assigned but not enforced which is silly and causes unpleasant conversations with other passengers. The break was announced as 10min but ended up being 20mins so the arrival was 15min late. The air-conditioning wasn't great.

All good but one strange thing is missing on many Buses lately , at least in Croatia. For some strange reason there is no names of the Companies-Operators of the Buses,,Why ?? It would help at busy Bus Station to see your Bus instead of looking at small signs by the Windshield of the Bus. No Puntamika or Knežević name writen--painted on the Bus. I mean it is really stupid to see big number of White Buses without Company names written on them and checking every single Bus to see which one you will get into. Hard to understand why. Must be one of those Balkan things. Shenanigans comes to mind. Bus itself and Driver ware excellent.
