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 Nis Ekspres. Other travellers’ reviews will help you to choose the best ticket and coach class.

Nis Ekspres Top Destinations
Nis Ekspres buses ply a number of routes and here is the list of some of the most popular ones:
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.

It was not direct. It was clean. Traveling.com listed it as “direct”- yet we made multiple stops before stopping at one place where we had to change buses and wait an extra half hour before continuing. Also, the bathroom on the bus was not available to use and the bathroom at the station charged money and only accepted certain notes. So if you had to pee and did not have exact change, you were fucked.

Odd experience. The driver was nice. One of them spoke enough English to figure out that we could take that Bus. We also arrived almost two hours early which I suppose is a good thing. The Bus did not depart from the international departure tracks but from the domestic one. After looking for a bus matching the provider we found the bus.

Easy ride using virtual ticket. Overall smooth, easy ride. Glad that I can buy my ticket online. It seems in various Balkan buses that they have a bathroom on the bus, but it's locked. It feels like we're paying for that amenity, but then not having it perhaps because the bus driver doesn't want to clean. But going to the bathroom is a basic human need.

У автобусі було тепло, дуже тепло (температура на вулиці о 19.00 була -5). Одна санітарна зупинка. Все по розкладу. Комфортна поїздка. Не можна на станції купити білет на обратну дорогу.

Sofia to Niš. Free wifi after crossing Serbian border, clean bus with many rubbish bags. Depending on your seat it’s quite spacious and windows are clean in some parts. No wifi on board until crossing the border into Serbia.

Good, efficient service. The bus was clean and left and arrived punctually. The bus was driven well. The seats were hard and not very comfortable for me. The driver was angry with one passenger for some reason, which created a bad atmosphere. Even if there was a problem, there is a polite way of dealing with it. His job is to make the passengers happy, not to harangue them.

some features. 1) Departure and arrival times corresponded to the schedule 2) the driver helps put the suitcases in the bus compartment 3) Air conditioning running all the way. for me these are not disadvantages, but features 1) there is no platform number on the ticket - you need to find out at the information desk of the bus station 2) you need to separately buy a ticket to access the platform (it was 100 dinars).

Comfortable journey considering the heat outside. When someone behind spills their can of beer (I hope) over and it slashes over your trousers and nubuck leather boots...

Good value. I was able to keep the return ticket of a cancelled journey. The support service was very efficient and friendly. The driver was careful on the roads. We were given seat numbers but these are ignored and we ended up at the back of the bus and where the air con was weaker.

Good. But the PDF ticket is misleading. My PDF-ticket said it had to be printed. Actually it was not needed - I could show the ticket from my phone. Maybe my case was exceptional? idk.

Excellent journey. Everything went smoothly and perfectly from Novi Sad to Subotica. The station staff at Novi Sad were efficient and helpful. I don't know why there are several negative reviews about the bus station online. My experience was entirely positive. The bus driver was also friendly and the journey was punctual. No problems recommending this trip.

Bumpy ride. I guess this is not so much about the bus, but the roads are under construction and the driver goes really fast. In the mountains where it's all up and down, left and right, it was not possible to get much sleep, you would wake up because of the jumps, twists, and turns.

It was early departure but it was only way to reach Visegrad connecting bus in Uzice. Bus was very spacious and bag fit well in overhead space. Bus station signage was difficult to see at 5:00 AM. Prijepolje bus station located in less well lit area.

A passenger went to buy something at a stop and even thought his partner asked the driver to either wait or let her out with their luggage the driver insisted on leaving with her on board. She had to scream at him to stop and she fell down when the driver stopped the bus aggresively. Also the bus was full and at the back the radiators were on full heat and it felt like sitting in a sauna as it was 30 degrees outside.

First stop in SRB: no ATM + no pmt cards in-store = no bathroom access. I like that the driver finally clued in and realized he had to stop on the filling station on the highway so that about 15 people could take a pee after several hours. Our first stop in Serbia was at a bus station that had no ATM, did not accept any bank cards in-store, and had with a stubborn bathroom attendant who wouldn't let people through with foreign currency. It was a ridiculous situation.
