Anonymous Late again. The driver was lovely and a very good driver. Having to keep stopping for toilet breaks as the toilets on all busses doesn't work so again we were 1.5 hrs late getting to our destination. The bus was very old and the whole ride shook our bones.

Anonymous Quando si compra un biglietto dovrebbe esserci una voce che poi ti ricorda di portare com te il passaporto se si passa il confine UE. Io me lo sono scordato ma per fortuna hanno accettato una foto del passaporto.

Anonymous Fine journey does the job, but not super-safe. Journey was fine, got from A to B as best possible. Driver spent the first ~hour on the phone (one hand on the steering wheel) on winding roads; then joined by some friends and constantly talking loudly for the rest of the trip. Difficult to have a peaceful journey.

Anonymous kašnjenje u polasku, kvar autobusa, čekanje više od sat vremena na drugi autobus, neorganiziranost prelaska državne granice i sat vremena čekanja, nije istaknuta predviđena ruta kojom će autobus voziti (vožnja je mogla trajati 4h umjesto 9h, potrebno je naglasiti da autobus ne vozi dirketnom linijom).

Anonymous Amazing trip. Our ride was amazing, very comfortable. Bus crew was amazing, they were helping with everything, stopping for the bathroom breaks all the time. Most amazing thing is that our arrival was at 1:30 pm and we came exactly at 1:30 pm.

Anonymous Sarajevo to Split Review…. Bus left on time Polite driver Arrived only 1 hour after estimated time of arrival - mainly due to slow border crossing and slow drivers in front of us. My last CentroTrans trip was 4 hours late due to incompetent bus drivers (wrong turn up mountain road and slow driving). Comfortable bus ride. Stopped for 25 minutes at the most inappropriate place to buy food (the same place we stopped at when I went from Kotor to Sarajevo a few days earlier). The place was crowded with not enough time to wait in line to order and eat food. The place is popular with the drivers to stop at but totally useless to have lunch/dinner at for the passengers. The bus toilet door was locked. Why??????

Anonymous 2 thirds of the trip without a/c, the fact that front seats are always unavailable and reserved to other passengers jumping on later in the trip. My wife is sick when sitting at the back..

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.
