A Rip Off ! Bought train tickets in the UK, when we got to Budva station they had no record of my purchase so had to buy another two tickets to get to Kotor and back. I had the email showing my purchase but the staff in the ticket office flatly refused to acknowledge this. What a waste of money !!! Paying for something that you don’t receive.

Budva bus station. Fairly good value. Organisation, signage/ information & staff at Budva bus station was awful. It is chaos with everyone crowding around every bus that came offering their tickets and being declined or let on. We ask a member of staff where will our bus come in and was told to wait at bay 2,3 or 4. After asking the driver of every bus that came into those bays we missed our bus as it came in to bay 1. We explained that a member of staff gave us wrong information but was told we could not get on the next bus and had to buy new tickets. Staff rude and beyond unhelpful.

The bus left on time. It was clean and in good general condition. The journey was delayed, but this was due to heavy traffic and roadworks.

Hot bus and way too long. The bus was hot and the air conditioner was blowing out warm air. The trip was meant to be about 45 min but took 2 hours and 45 minutes. While not the bus company fault due to road works, the heat in the bus was unbearable.

The coach was comfortable. The driver was safe and journey was good. Some passengers were arguing as there were not enough seats for everyone. The coach was delayed due to road works and traffic.

It was reasonable punctual and good value. Having to print out a ticket which was unexpected and hassle plus it adds €1 to the €1.50 platform ticket if you print the ticket at the station (used tourist info for free).

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.
