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

Sons Top Destinations
Sons 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.

Time not accurate. The fact that it showed up. The times need to be discussed here. It says 08:22 pick up. Well, when I came to Tjentište I was dropped off at 08:00, so I made the deduction to arrive at 08:00 2 weeks later. Now, if someone was 5 min late and they thought they could still make the bus, they would be screwed! Please communicate schedules accordingly, since there are only 2 buses for the day coming to a super remote village. How annoying would it have been if I arrive at 08:15!

The busdriver was driving ridiculously hard. Also, we arrived about 30 minutes too early. That I got to my destination at one piece. Driver drives too fast. I got 30 minutes too early at my destination. I don't know if this is a scheduling issue or the bus driver's. Imagine waiting for that one bus in the morning and you miss it, because information was not give properly or the bus driver just likes to arrive whenever he wants to.

Breathtaking bus trip. The small bus was clean, left on time and arrived at my destination early. The border crossing was fast and efficient. The driver seemed very competent on windy mountain roads. Best thing, the route is absolutely stunning, gorgeous mountain scenery with the road running next to a river through a deep gorge and over high bridges. Hint, try sitting on the left (non driver) side of the bus. Too many tickets were sold and some passengers had to stand for part of the way.

The driver did not give us enough information, he always spoke in his own language, even when we asked the simplest things in English he answered in a different language, he was generally very angry. I went very shaken, it was not a comfortable journey, the car was also very hot and when my friend opened the roof window of the car he also said something angry to him, of course I do not know what he said in his own language. I think it was the same for most passengers, I prayed for the journey to end safely. I am sorry I did not want to say these things, maybe he was having a bad day but at least he could give short answers to simple sentences in English.

A comfortable trip to Podgorica. The bus was reasonably clean and comfortable, particularly compared with other buses I've taken in Bosnia i Herzegovina recently. The air-conditioning on the bus was working too which was great (especially as this hasn't been the case on other bus rides in Bosnia i Herzegovina so far). The bus driver was kind and helpful. The bus arrived in Podgorica 15 minutes early which was good.

Un viaje tranquilo y profesional. El viaje fue muy tranquilo y sin sobresaltos durante el trayecto de 6 horas. El conductor conducía perfectamente y me sentía seguro. Muy profesional. El aire acondicionado correcto. Quizás diría la música en el Bus. 6 horas de música y el volumen un poco elevado, lo que impedía relajarse.

Interesting drive. Bus from Sarajevo, Bosnia to Podgorica, Montenegro. The good: clean comfortable bus. Fantastic scenery on the route. Cheap transportation! The not so good : Driver was on his mobile phone ALOT. This was on a very twisty mountain road with a big drop if we missed a turn. Comfort breaks along the way had very little to offer (but, this was the back country of Montenegro, what do you expect) Lots of little added expenses no one tells you about. Bus station tax, luggage fees, not terrible but annoying.

The bus journey is very spectacular over the mountains in the north of Montenegro to Sarajevo. The bus was simple but fine, enough leg room and the driver was friendly and helpful.

Interesting. Friendly people in all areas. Our bus broke down after we made our first stop. No so much a big deal yet the bus provided to the border of Bosnia had a leak from a small round hole where I was sitting. I managed to stop it with some paper yet that did not last very long. A fellow passenger gave me a wax ear plug that did the job. At the border we waited an hour for a bus to come to take us to Sarajevo.

Traveling from Podgorica to Sarajevo. Landscape outside was gorgeous. Bus is very old and not well maintained. Every time we were going too slow, it would just shut down. Seats are not comfortable for a 7h ride, especially when the whole bus is packed. We only stopped once for the toilet (ride was over 7h!) Even if I had booked the ticket online, at the bus station I was charged 2€ extra, not sure why.

Driver let someone on who didn’t have a ticket, leaving me without a seat. Sat on floor. Nothing, worst journey of my life. Sat on the floor for 6.45hrs because the driver let someone on who hadn’t bought a ticket. Terrible experience, so uncomfortable without a seat and nobody cared. People drinking alcohol on the bus. No seat. Poor air conditioning.

If you can purchase your ticket on site :). If you can purchase your ticket on site :) - otherwise you will pay one euro fee to enter the bus station, 1 euro fee to leave your luggage in the back and so on. A typical Balkan trip maybe, where the driver smokes, talks on the phone and drives in the same time while outside it’s pouring rain.

Gets you there (hopefully). The driver clearly knows the roads well and despite a number of issues i never actually felt unsafe. Bus departed on time. The ride was very cheap. Driver was on the phone (holding the phone - no earpiece) almost constantly. The engine of the bus cut out a few times, and there was a high-pitched grinding sound most of the way - it could definitely do with a few repairs. We arrived nearly an hour early at the destination, so i suspect that if you want to be picked up along the way at a scheduled stop, you can't rely on the advertised time.

Travel on a scenic route. Most of all, it's a journey through a spectacular scenery. Then, it seemed to me as if the travel time was one hour less than indicated on the ticket, just about 5 hours with one stop. The driver was smoking all the time and had numerous phone calls while driving. He was, however, driving very carefully.
