About Drita Travel
Bus is a convenient way of travel no matter whether you need to get to a neighboring town a couple of hours away or venture further afield crossing the whole country. Whatever your budget, buses have you covered. Express buses offer the most affordable ticket price for travellers who have very little money to spend. VIP options are geared toward those who do not want to compromise on comfort. Before you jump on a bus, make sure you choose the type of service which suits you best. For a long-haul trip look for a VIP or first-class coach which provides non-stop service to your destination or just call a minor number of stations along the way. Express or local buses in many cases may prove an acceptable choice for shorter trips, but longer rides are often not the best buy. Study the timetable before going as many long-haul destinations are served by night buses, and some offer wider seats or sleeper berths for such travels. Make an online reservation for your bus ticket with Drita Travel. Other travellers’ reviews will help you to choose the best ticket and coach class.

Drita Travel Ticket Prices & Bus Classes
One of the best things about bus travel is that you can almost tailor-make your trip adjusting it to your requirements for privacy and comfort. Different classes and types of buses cater to the different needs of travellers. The cheapest trips are normally offered by standard-class buses. They may be called local, express or ordinary. These are a good choice for shorter trips. Sleepers or VIP coaches are good both for longer and overnight trips. They may offer berths or wide soft reclining seats, sometimes with built-in massage options, blankets, soft drinks, and snacks, or more substantial meals on board or during toilet or refuelling stops. Travelling by night buses allows you to save on a hotel room, but to ensure the most comfortable ride do choose the class of your bus wisely. Prices always depend on the distance you ride and the type of coach. For some, even shorter trips, it is worth investing some extra money and buying a seat on a VIP bus as it can save you twice as much time as you spend travelling by an ordinary bus.
Travel by Bus: Pros & Cons
Pros of Bus Travel
- Bus is the best choice to get to destinations that are not connected by rail or planes. The network of buses often covers almost the whole country, and their routes are well and long-established.
- Opposite to air travel and sometimes rail travel, taking a bus does not require arriving at the bus station much in advance. Check-in, even on international routes, does not take much time. Luggage allowances are usually very traveller-friendly, and the fee for extra luggage, if limits are set, is normally not very high.
- Bus tickets can be more affordable compared to air or fast train tickets. There is always a choice of ticket classes for all pockets. Cheaper standard options may be a bit slow and do not offer top comfort, but anyway acceptable and bring you to your destination. On longer routes, toilets or toilet stops as well as snacks, water, and sometimes toiletries and blankets are almost always included in the price.
- If you are ready to spend more, some VIP coaches offer seating comparable to business class on a plane with wide soft reclining seats, blankets, fewer passengers, and many other perks to make your trip a pleasant journey.
Cons of Bus Travel
- Newer intercity bus terminals are very often located out of the city close to bigger highways to allow buses to avoid city congestion. Unfortunately, it may create extra challenges for travellers, too. Getting to such a terminal may be a problem as in some destinations there are restrictions on vehicles allowed to enter the terminal, and you will have to use special carriers to get there. This results in higher costs as prices may be inflated. Also do calculate extra time if you are travelling during rush hours, especially if you are not familiar with the traffic situation at your starting point.
- Buses are probably the means of transport which runs out of schedule more often than trains or planes. They are heavily dependent on the road situation which sometimes can be unpredictable – accidents, road construction works, detours, etc. This is especially true for travels during weekends, high season, or national holidays. Do keep this in mind and do not plan tight connections.
- Travelling on certain routes or during the most popular periods may require advanced booking. Bear in mind that it is not always possible to show up at the bus station and hop on the next bus – tickets may well be all sold out, so organize your trip accordingly.

Portia PA lot of the seats were broken and the driver didn't give any instructions or assistance with toilet breaks. He was over an hour late, which worked in our favour as there was an accident on the highway that made us arrive right on departure. The customer service is very hard to get help from too.

Anonymous Got us to the right place. The bus driver was rude to passengers. We were unaware of the €2 luggage fee (this should be communicated better when buying a ticket) and he was quite intimidating when explaining this - throwing our bags off the vehicle and saying we would need to catch the next bus if we didn’t pay (which was at 6am the following morning.) This made me uncomfortable as a female traveller. The bus stop in Shkoder was hard to find and the bus was running late. The bus itself was old and needed a clean and maintenance.

A very stressful situation for the driver, as he had to keep jump starting it with passengers feeling worried. My friends and I ended up getting off and getting into a taxi.

Anonymous The bus was worse than vomit. Nothing. this was a terrible ride. The bus was very bad and the seat I sat on was wet. The buss smelled and the station never accepted our “mobile tickets” which resulted in us paying additional “fees” in cash to print the tickets plus they still charge you additional “fees” in cash for each luggage.

Anonymous It was a short and nice ride. I travelled without a luggage, but the driver forced every single passenger to hand their bags, even the tiniest ones, slightly bigger than a pocket in order to get 2 euros for every piece. Since he does not speak English, I tried to communicate with him in my broken Albanian, but I couldn't understand one of his sentences, and he suddenly mimicise me. I'm not that soft, but that was a humiliating experience. The only good thing that I can say about him that he drove nice.

Anonymous Was very late and not traffic related. Driver and co worker were friendly and appreciable. Driver was safe and not erratic. I don’t think the poor service was their fault. Lateness of bus pick up. Pick up point was incorrect. Bus not bearing the signs of travel company ‘Drita travel’ instead it had a stick on sign ‘flexi bus’. No sign on bus to say where it had travelled from or where it was travelling too. Bus smelt of diesel at the back. We weren’t dropped off at the bus station which is what was in the booking information. Wished I’d just booked a local taxi now.

Anonymous Late bus but made good time. Views were nice. When purchasing bus tickets if baggage fees will be extra you should always get the option to pay for it ahead of time. No where on our tickets did it say we would need cash for baggage. The bus driver asked everyone for 2 euros to store the bags. And wouldn’t let anyone on the bus with their bags. Other people on the bus had to give us euros to use as we weren’t even in a country where euros were the currency.

Even if you have printed your ticket they make you "validate" it and pay a 2 euro fee per person as a bus station fee. As expected then have to pay a further 2 euros to put each bag on the bus. Bus was old and many of the seats a bit broken.

Anonymous Driver Left Us Stranded. The driver left us stranded in Tirana - he dropped us off at a location that was convenient to him and not the location that was stipulated on the tickets. When we all protested that he had to drop us off at the said bus station, he shrugged his shoulders, ignored us and just kept smoking his cigarette. Many people had made transport and accommodation plans based on the location of the drop off point stated on the tickets, so this was a huge inconvenience as now we had to arrange alternative transport to take us where we were meant to be dropped off. Disgusting behavior from the driver.

The driver smoked cigarettes during the drive and didn't give any information for the passengers during the trip. The driver stopped multiple times during the drive and didn't give any reason why he stopped and what was happening. I think at one point he put some his personal stuff to the cargo and maybe one time he stopped to went to the store. Professional drivers would have taken care of their drinks and snacks for the ride before the bus needed to leave. AND!! It was super dangerous that the driver had some empty bottles and cans rolling around near his seat. What if one of these cans or bottles went under the brakes and in that case, he wouldn't have been able to use the brakes.

I handed in my ticket and made it clear I was travelling to Shkoder. However, when we got to Shkoder the driver didn’t advise of the stop. We then started to drive out of Shkoder. I spoke to the driver who was really rude and said he only had 3 passengers for Shkoder and he dropped them off. I showed him my to ticket and he finally pulled over. He left me on the side of the road with no phone signal or money 2 miles from Shkoder. I was left shaken by the whole experience.

Anonymous Bus air conditioning insufficient; it was too hot inside. Avoid seats and curtains in velvet ! If you pay a bus ticket, it is not normal not to include at leat one lugagge per person, customer should not have the surprise to pay in cash additionally for the luggage when boarding. It is simply stupid to ask customers to print tickets on paper at the station, when tickets have QR-code to be shown from mobile, to be scanned by the driver or a boarding assistant for automatic check/count (speeding up the boarding process). It is even abusive not to inform before the customers and ask them to pay for printing tickets at station in Shkodër (5€ per person for 1 sheet of paper!), in addition to pay for a printed pass for the station gate (1€ pp for a piece of paper), which is completely useless, as access to the bus platforms should only be based on the fact to have a valid travel bus ticket!!
