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

Zelic Reisen Top Destinations
Zelic Reisen 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.

Very punctual. The puncutality, the lenght of the journey (the breaks were enough but not too long, which would have been "a waste of time), the kindness of the drivers. Not too full, so I was lucky enough to have two seats. A game changer!

Zuverlässig und Sicher. Ruhiger Fahrstil, dank ausgeruhten, konzentrierten Chauffeuren. Pünktlichkeit trotz schwierigen Verkehrsverhältnissen. Reservierte Sitze und genügend Platz. Zelic-Reisen sind sehr zu empfehlen. Laut telefonierende Fahrgäste und schwitzende Füsse auf Sitzpolstern.

It was ok.. Excellent was: - coffee I had in Croatia - bus driver/crew was very friendly. Disappointing was: - toilet: too small, not enough toilet paper - not enough breaks - bus stopped in almost every village instead of shown stopps = delay of 1 hour - People talked almost entire night.

Ugodna vožnja. Brzo smo stigli, bilo je taman pauza, ugodna i mirna vožnja. Sve je bilo super, samo bi možda trebalo ubuduće napisati koliko je dodatna prtljage da se mogu pripremiti.

Overall pleasant experience. Started the trip on time, staff was nice, temperature in the bus was just right. Arrived to final destination 40 minutes early (12 hour trip) . Overall great experience, far better than the train ride i took in the opposite direction. There was about 6 hours between two breaks but the staff did warn us about that so it's not a big deal.

Travel from Rijeka to Zurich. The internet stopped working after we left Croatia. Seems to be a known issue for the company (according to driver).

Extremely satisfied. The driver's were really careful AND good natured for the whole 19 hours from Trogir to Basel and really took care of the passengers' needs. Very nice trip, would definitely choose this company again.
