A
Anonymous I was unfairly charged a baggage fee. I had a baggage allowance and 3 marks were taken. There were already 5 of us on the bus.

Anonymous I liked that there was free WiFi in the buss, which should be a standard by now, but it's not in Bosnia, so I was pleasantly surprised. I really didn't like the music, it was quite irritating.

Anonymous Good enough to recommend. Everything was very punctual. The drive was quick and didn’t feel uncomfortable at all. Driver was speeding at times and the hurry was really bothersome at the turns/mountains. The bus was very unclean everywhere; windows, seats. Air conditioning wasn’t working and there were no windows so it got very hot.

Anonymous The bus schedule is correct upon minute (provided there is no congestion on the road), the staff is kind, understanding and straight to the point. Some of the seats in the bus are broken and are sliding in a horizontal manner when in the bus goes into a curve, thus they need fixing.

Anonymous Travelled like Sardines in a tin can. Bus is clean, drivers polite, accessible and helpful. On leaving Sarajevo, a group of about 30 persons from countries in South East Asia in transit to Germany, came on the bus and traveled all the way either standing, sitting is the stairs at the middle exit, or sitting in the passageway. These people paid the same fair as others, they deserve to be treated as such. Do not ruin your product service with this kind of attitude because only you will pay the price of losing business.
