Non Italian speaking group. Hard to find meeting spot. The driver seemed more organized. There was a sign posted for the bus. I was able to Google translate it. Because of what we experienced on our trip out, we were there an hour ahead of time. We got on quickly and found our seats. Since there is construction on the street, we weren’t quite sure where to go. We split up and wandered and read signs. Asked other people.

Meeting point. Speed,air conditioner, lots of free seats and comfortable seats. The bus was supposed to be at the stop at 10:20 but it got there at 10:35 also the meeting point on the map was in a place which apparently it was changed and if my son in law was not with me I couldn’t know the place had changed as I don’t know Italian. So with asking from people he took me to the right stop.

Great bus but.. The bus was very nice and the ride was very comfortable. The driver missed our drop-off and about three kilometers after the central station, he asked if anyone needed to be dropped there. Luckily I speak some Italian so I understood, however he was very angry after having missed our drop off. So, he left three of us in the middle of the road (while telling us to hurry up) and pointed toward the station, which was three or four kilometers away. I have many bags and musical gear as I was in Italy working as a musician so it was a long way to walk with all of our luggage. I have never been to Bari so I was not aware that we needed to let him know our drop off point. He saw our tickets and there were only 8 or 10 people on the bus so I assumed we were all going to the same place. Needless to say, it was not a professional way to deal with our situation.

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.
