Anonymous Malo. El bus salió y llegó al horario establecido. Lamentablemente fueron vendidos pasajes de más y varios debimos viajar parados con el consiguiente riesgo de caída ante lo complicado de las rutas de montaña en este país. No conozco el reglamento local pero estimo que nadie debería viajar de pie en un trayecto de media distancia. El bus era muy pequeño para la exigencia en temporada alta y además no estaba limpio.

Anonymous Driver screaming. There was a girl with a cat next door. The cat calmed me. The driver screamed at me in the local language for no apparent reason. He had a problem with my backpack. I asked him what he wanted. He replied screaming even more in his language. Then I asked in French, Russian and German. He kept on screaming instead and went to the driver seat spitting some rude stuffs about European tourists in his language. Good memory.

Anonymous Doubles the price with a hoard of hidden fees total scam. The bus actually arrived. Doubled the price with hidden fees. First 0,7 eur to getbybus, then they refused to accept the digital ticket and demanded it printer at the station (a 2 eur fee) then the station required an entrance fee (1 eur), then they charged 1 eur for both the hold luggage and the carry on laptop (2 eur total). All off this on a 50 minute trip supposed to cost 5 euro. Bus was dirty all employes grumpy and none spoke english.

Anonymous Everything was good except the schedule. By schedule the trip took more than two times longer. AC, silence, no sun heat through the window. Enough seats. No communication from staff. The trip took more than two times longer. At first there were no traffic jams, the first traffic jam the bus encountered was by the time we must have arrived according to the schedule. And we were just halfway through the journey.

Travelling by bus essentials
- If you are planning to travel during the high season, weekends, or national holidays, booking your bus tickets in advance is highly recommended. The demand is at its highest, yet very often, the number of coaches serving the route remains the same. The earlier you reserve your seat, the better. On some routes, you need to secure your ticket more than a month in advance; on others, a couple-of-days advanced booking is enough. During such periods, try to book online beforehand whenever possible, as showing up at the bus station without a ticket may result in many-hours of waiting in the queue or leave you downright stranded.
- VIP, 1st, Gold, and similar bus tickets are the most expensive option, but they provide a higher level of comfort. Normally the price of such tickets will include wide soft reclining seats, blankets, water and snacks or lunch, and sometimes some toiletries. Upper-class buses travel faster, make fewer stops during the route, and normally provide more spacious seating to their passengers and a better travel experience.
- Not all buses have an on-board toilet, but generally, for all trips longer than three hours, all operators schedule a bathroom and/or a lunch stop. While operators definitely do their best to keep on-board toilets clean, the smell may be an issue sometimes. For longer trips, booking a seat a bit farther from the toilet may be a good idea. Also, using bathroom stops for your toilet needs is always better than trying to find your balance in an on-board toilet on the run.
- If you travel by an air-con bus, make sure to pack layers. A hoodie, a warm scarf, or a beanie hat may prove a good idea. Air-conditioning on buses tends to be excessive, and running nose and sore throats abound after even not the longest bus rides.
- Always use the security belts even if your bus ride attendant or driver does not insist on it. Your safety comes first – for you, for sure. All buses normally are equipped with security belts, but they may be fixed behind your seat. Take time to find the belt and fix it appropriately.
- To avoid being disturbed by overhead lights, switched on during stops even at night, and too loud music or sound from the on-board entertainment system, have earplugs and a sleeping mask at hand.
- As a courtesy to other passengers, avoid using strong perfumes or smelly foods. Some foods like cheeses or durians are forbidden to take on-board – check in advance. Alcohol is also prohibited on the majority of buses.
- Note that if the bus requires refuelling en-route, passengers will be asked to get off the bus. Operators are not allowed to refuel with passengers on board due to safety reasons. Usually, it takes from 5 to 10 minutes and is often combined with a toilet/lunch stop.
- If not stated otherwise in your tickets, arrive at the bus station 20-30 minutes before departure. It will give you enough time to find the departure platform and check-in. For international trips, you may need more time for check-in and border formalities.
