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

Toping Trade Top Destinations
Toping Trade 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.

Was an alcoholist next to us and the bus stank of sweat and alcohol and cigarettes. Driver took matters in to his own hands and solved so we didn’t have to wait at the border crossing. Akhi!

This is my first experience with Toping Trade. The driver smoked whilst driving. Far too hot on the bus, and the dry air gave me a splitting headache. The whole journey took 5 hours, with no option to stop for a toilet break. I had to change my ticket due to catching a plane, hence took this bus, however the ticket was more expensive than the original, journey took much longer and overall not a pleasant experience. I will not use their service again.

Worked fine to get us from Banja Luka to Zagreb for a flight. The booking process was easy and it was great that I could do it online before leaving on my trip, as I didn't fancy trying to navigate buying tickets at the bus station in Banja Luka. The bus left right on time and the journey was pretty smooth, with the driver, despite not speaking English, taking the numbers from our tickets without any problem and stowing our luggage for us. It was a relatively long trip (about 5 hours, in a pretty small bus), but it was comfortable and got us to Zagreb in plenty of time to get to the airport. It was a hot late summer day when we travelled but the bus had air conditioning and I was neither too hot nor too cold, so no complaints there. The transport was a minibus rather than a coach, which I hadn't expected but wasn't a particular problem as there was space for our suitcase in a luggage compartment attached to the rear. The driver didn't speak English but to be fair I hadn't expected him to, and he drove safely and comfortably. There were seatbelts on the bus but they didn't seem to function, at least not in the two different seats I tried, although I gather the law is a little looser in that regard in Bosnia.

Driver drove off without us. Me and my friend had tickets for the bus from Sisak to Banja Luka. The bus showed up at 16.05, right on time. I walked towards the bus but when the driver saw me approaching he inmediatly drove off! He clearly saw me. I don't understand why he just drove away. As no other transport was available we had to take a cab for 170 euro! We even suspect a scam as the taxi driver approached us right after the bus had driven off. We had no choice because no other transport was available. Avoid this company.

The driver was very nice, positive and helpful. The bus was clean and comfy. Overall a very nice ride. No wi-fi in the bus. The driver didn't like the online ticket, so I had to write it down on a piece of paper.

It said mTicket is available and printing ticket isn't necessary, but the driver said I should've printed it because he doesn't have device to read QR code. He didn't make it a problem and just wrote down ticket info, but future passengers might want to take this into account.

The Bus was very small and the air conditioning didn’t work. The price. The road and the small seat.

Bus was late for 30 minutes to the destination. Bus driver was unprofessional, ride was rocky. Departure from Zagreb on time. Unprofessional bus driver, stopped at a gas pump without even informing the pasangers, stayed there for 10 minutes. Ride was very rocky, he had little disregard that he is driving people. Smoked in the bus. Late for 30 minutes at destination.
