Anonymous Bus was half hour late coming into Mak and than delayed at border we arrived 2 hrs late in Mostar. Bus driver was experienced and drove pretty safely. Bus driver should check that people have right border documents at the departure, so we do not wait on one passenger without proper documents for an hour. Or at least, why should whole bus wait for one passenger who did not get his/her docs correct. They should be left behind to get the taxi to destination. Also, instead of dropping some of us passengers of at the West bus station in Mostar (which we were supposed to go to), they dropped us off at the East bus station, so it inconvenienced us that we had to get taxis to get back the other side.

Anonymous Terrible driver. We had 2 drivers and the first one was horrible at driving. She was swerving left and right on the motorway, almost as she was drunk or something. Luckily, the second chauffeur was decent at driving and the rest of the trip went a lot better.

Anonymous Very scenic route. Driving was smooth and nice. The bus was 20mn late in Makarska, arrived to the destination (Mostar) 30mn late. No excuse, no explanation. The driver let his phone ring all the way, talking on the phone constantly. The border crossing was strange. First, he stopped the bus to go to a gas station right after exiting Croatia, without saying anything to the passengers, to come back with a plastic bag. Then he was bringing to the Bosnian police some water(?) bottles or something. Maybe it's just a normal procedure. But it would be nicer if he communicate better with the passengers. He also picked up a guy on the way that he dropped off somewhere there were no bus stop. The guy paid him with some cash. He also picked up some packages from people on the way. All these seemed quite obscure.

Anonymous In the end we arrived fine to Mostar. Bus was delayed by 30 mins, we arrived to Mostar with 1,5 h delay (this was also because of the border control). Quite long smoking breaks which weren't necessary.

Anonymous Balkan ways of life. There was 1 hour 20 min delay. We were waiting for long time on a border without explanation what's going on. The driver told us the extra fee for luggage is 1 euro, but then requested to pay 2 euros, no idea why - no receipt given. The seatbelt was broken and couldn't click in place (no safety). The road was bumpy and I felt like falling off the seat few times. Also the driver stopped abruptly on multiple occasions. The seat in front of me was pulled back and I had very little space for myself.

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.
