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

Pepeks Top Destinations
Pepeks 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.

There is always some kind of misunderstanding and confusion when you show your m-ticket to the driver. I wonder if they are aware that their company regularly sells tickets online?

Felt like a VIP ride. The team was extremely nice and recognized my tickets from traveling easily. The ride is in a comfortable mini bus and the landscape was absolutely beautiful! Border crossing was smooth too. There wasn't any bathroom break in that 3 hour to 3 hour and a half ride. In my country we usually have breaks for that length of ride. I think it is something to announce clearly before the ride that there will be no break.

Good efficient driver, relatively modern bus. The border/passport controls between BiH and Croatia at Gradiska was a bit slow and tiresome.

It was a small 20 seater bus. So not the most comfy. The driver was friendly and very accommodated people very well. Even though it was a bigger combi and not a bus, I would take it again. But it would be lovely if they could get the bigger buses especially for Fridays when there is a bigger demand. Again. The smaller bus.

Great Value. The Driver was friendly and helpful when getting on the bus and taking our luggage. Due to his knowledge and experience managed to get us through the border on a very busy day in an one and half hours. Cars were probably waiting at least 3 to 4 hours to get through. Comfortable trip. A bit tight for space. But on a fairly short journey was not a problem.

Air conditioning. The driver did not accept the QR code ticket. I believe he didn’t have a scanner, but it took over 5 people saying they had a QR code ticket for him to accept writing down the ticket numbers. The bus station told us they couldn’t help us. The bus also arrived almost 2 hours late to the final destination.

A good and reliable service. Everything was satisfactory. Delays at the border. Especially on the Croatian side of the border on the night of the 16th September - a two hour delay with no explanation from Police and Customs. This was NOT the fault of the bus company.

Awful driver. The bus was on time. The driver was rude. When I got on the bus he was very aggressive over my ticket. We stopped at a red light at a 4 way intersection, the driver got up and started interrogating other passengers about their tickets. It took him 30 seconds-1 minute of car horns to realise he should be driving the bus and was blocking a large, busy road. I found his behaviour really unprofessional. Getting up in the middle of the road and walking up the bus as though he could just stop in the middle of a motorway was very stressful to watch.

The ride was fine, but problems at Zareb bus station. The ride itself was fine. There is a huge problem at Zagreb bus station: the staff of the station does not know about getbybus buses and routes, or service. No information was displayed on the big displays. I asked the staff in the ticket booth but they refused to help me. I asked several of the staff there, they were rude and unhelpful. I went down to the platforms and asked random bus drivers standing there, they kindly helped me find my getbybus. The getbybus vehicle was inconspicuous, there was no signal, no logo, not even a table, nothing. It has been really stressful experience.

This is about the 7.30 bus which I took, not the 11.30 one which I booked originally. This he driver spoke english so we were able to communicate. Overall, her drove well and we arrived in Zagreb without any occurences and in time. Also, I had a ticket for 11.30 bus (not the 7.30 bus) and he accepted this without any protest. The driver didn't always have his hands on the steering wheel. He answered his cell phone while driving and polished his sunglasses carefully with both hands and also made some unncessary.

Disorganised journey. To be honest, I liked that I got the bus, and that was about it. It was so chaotic at Zagreb bus station that noone knew where the bus was going from - the driver and a couple of passengers helped me to get on the bus quickly. Chaos at Zagreb. The bus seats are too small. Not for me. I am tiny. Nearly everyone else, your average Balkan-sized man was too big for the seats. The guy sitting next to me took up part of my seat - not his fault, and not comfortable for either of us. It was hot and stuffy and smelled of smoke - when I got on, I thought you were actually allowed to smoke on board!
