Kaleia Rooster en dienstregeling

Over Kaleia

Reizen per bus is een handige manier van reizen, ongeacht of je naar een naburige stad een paar uur verderop wilt of verder weg het hele land wilt doorkruisen. Wat je budget ook is, met de bus geraak je op je bestemming. Expressbussen bieden de meest betaalbare ticketprijs voor reizigers die weinig geld te besteden hebben. VIP-opties zijn gericht op degenen die niet willen inleveren op comfort. Voordat je in een bus stapt, moet je het type dienst kiezen dat het beste bij je past. Voor een langeafstandsreis zoek je een VIP- of eersteklasbus die non-stop naar je bestemming rijdt of onderweg slechts enkele keren een tussenstop maakt. Expres- of streekbussen zijn in veel gevallen een aanvaardbare keuze voor kortere reizen, maar langere ritten zijn vaak niet de beste koop. Bestudeer de dienstregeling voordat je gaat, want veel langeafstandsbestemmingen worden bediend door nachtbussen, en sommige bieden bredere stoelen of slaapplaatsen voor dergelijke reizen. Reserveer je busticket online bij Kaleia. De beoordelingen van andere reizigers helpen je om het beste ticket en de beste klasse te kiezen.

Kaleia Ticketprijzen & Busklassen

Een van de beste dingen aan busreizen is dat je je reis bijna op maat kan maken en kan aanpassen aan je wensen voor privacy en comfort. Verschillende klassen en typen bussen komen tegemoet aan de verschillende behoeften van reizigers. De goedkoopste reizen worden doorgaans aangeboden door standaardklasse bussen. Ze kunnen lokaal, express of gewoon worden genoemd. Deze zijn een goede keuze voor kortere reizen. Slaapbussen of VIP-bussen zijn goed voor langere reizen en overnachtingen. Ze bieden slaapplaatsen of brede zachte stoelen met verstelbare rugleuning, soms met ingebouwde massagemogelijkheden, dekens, frisdranken en snacks, of meer uitgebreide maaltijden aan boord of tijdens toilet- of tankstops. Als je met een nachtbus reist, kan je besparen op een hotelkamer, maar om de meest comfortabele rit te garanderen moet je de klasse van je bus verstandig kiezen. De prijzen zijn altijd afhankelijk van de afstand die je rijdt en het type bus. Voor sommige, zelfs kortere reizen, is het de moeite waard wat extra geld te investeren en een zitplaats in een VIP-bus te kopen, omdat je daarmee twee keer zoveel tijd kan besparen als met een gewone bus.

Reizen met de bus: voor- en nadelen

Voordelen van reizen per bus

  • De bus is de beste keuze om bestemmingen te bereiken die niet per trein of vliegtuig bereikbaar zijn. Het netwerk van bussen bestrijkt vaak bijna het hele land, en hun routes zijn vaak goed uitgewerkt.
  • In tegenstelling tot vliegreizen en soms treinreizen, hoef je met de bus niet lang van tevoren op het busstation te zijn. Inchecken, zelfs op internationale routes, neemt niet veel tijd in beslag. De toegestane bagage is meestal zeer reizigersvriendelijk, en de vergoeding voor extra bagage, als er beperkingen zijn vastgesteld, is meestal niet erg duur.
  • Bustickets kunnen voordeliger zijn dan vliegtuig- of sneltreintickets. Er is altijd een keuze aan ticketklassen voor alle portemonnees. Goedkopere standaardopties zijn misschien wat traag en bieden geen topcomfort, maar zijn hoe dan ook aanvaardbaar en brengen je naar je bestemming. Op langere trajecten zijn toiletten of toiletstops en snacks, water en soms toiletartikelen en dekens bijna altijd bij de prijs inbegrepen.
  • Als je bereid bent meer uit te geven, bieden sommige VIP-bussen zitplaatsen die vergelijkbaar zijn met business class in een vliegtuig, met brede, zachte verstelbare stoelen, dekens, minder passagiers en vele andere extraatjes om van je reis een aangename reis te maken.

Nadelen van reizen per bus

  • Nieuwere intercity busterminals liggen vaak buiten de stad in de buurt van grotere snelwegen, zodat de bussen de files in de stad kunnen vermijden. Helaas kan dit ook extra uitdagingen opleveren voor reizigers. Het bereiken van zo'n terminal kan een probleem zijn, omdat er op sommige bestemmingen beperkingen gelden voor voertuigen die de terminal mogen binnenrijden, en je speciale vervoerders moet gebruiken om er te komen. Dit leidt tot hogere kosten omdat de prijzen kunnen worden opgedreven. Reken ook extra tijd als je tijdens de spits reist, vooral als je de verkeerssituatie op je vertrekpunt niet kent.
  • Bussen zijn waarschijnlijk het vervoermiddel dat vaker vertraging heeft dan treinen of vliegtuigen. Zij zijn sterk afhankelijk van de situatie op de weg, die soms onvoorspelbaar kan zijn door ongevallen, wegwerkzaamheden, omleidingen of andere omstandigheden. Dit geldt vooral voor reizen tijdens het weekend, het hoogseizoen of nationale feestdagen. Houd hier rekening mee en houd voldoende tijd over voor verbindingen.
  • Voor reizen op bepaalde routes of tijdens de populairste periodes kan het nodig zijn vooraf te reserveren. Houd er rekening mee dat het niet altijd mogelijk is om op het busstation te verschijnen en op de volgende bus te springen - tickets kunnen allemaal uitverkocht zijn, dus plan je reis zorgvuldig.

Driver missing long time for just a toilet break. Seat and drive was ok. The driver tells everyone to have 20mins toilet break at the gas station. However, he was missing for about 50 mins. Ended up, we were late for arrival about more than 1 hour.

The trip was delayed by 2hrz as one passenger was held at the border inconveniencing all others. Patience of the driver. He drove about 10 mts back as one passengers did not board the bus from the rest place. The trip was delayed because of the above 2 reasons of 2 persons belonging to the same group. On such occasions others should not be inconvenienced to that extent, because time is precious for everyone.

Caleia Company not providing the driver with the entry fee €45 for Greece, instead giving the drivet bulgarian currecy. Poor guy had to ask and rely on passenger to exchage the money- rather unprofessional from the company bosses.

Good bus, angry driver. The bus was clean and comfortable, left on time and we got to our destination. The company sent a very informative email the evening before and it went smoothly at the station. Driver drove safely. The driver yelled at us and was very aggressive, and we had no idea why, since he didn't speak English and we don't speak Bulgarian. It was very unpleasant. He seemed to very much enjoy what little power he had. The border crossing took an hour and a half because the driver couldn't open one of the outside compartments on the bus for the customs officer. You'd think they'd know how to open that if they do this trip every day. We got there in the end.

Service Perfect. Sofia bus station no WiFi. Comfortable ride. Excellent driver. Bus stations never have WiFi making it impossible to use a taxi app, so unscrupulous taxis charge 30 Euros for what should be a 12 Euro fare. This costs more than the bus fare making it too expensive to travel by bus for that reason.

Great! I' ve lost the bus because the station you have to go to is not the main one, is literally the one next to it, like 50 mt. The guy at the check in was nice, got us a taxi (another person had the same problem and we run behind the bus. The ride was great. Only thing, inside the bus there is a bathroom but no one is allowed to use it. The driver was a tiny rude.

They oversold the bus by 6 seats and threatened to leave the entire group. Literally nothing, it was the worst travel experience I’ve ever had. The entire situation was a mess, they only provided a sprinter van that could seat about 10-12 people, didn’t have space for 6 people who bought and paid for their tickets weeks in advance. Driver was extremely rude and tried blaming passengers for being late (everyone was there 10 minutes before departure) as the reason there wasn’t space. 6 of us had to sit ON THE FLOOR of the bus, after the driver kept yelling he was going to leave us there and that he didn’t care it was oversold. Thankfully someone in the group was able to talk to the bus company and organize a private shuttle from the border checkpoint because the driver said he was going to leave the excess 6 people AT THE BORDER. Then while trying to retrieve bags from the back to get the separate shuttle the driver drove away forcing us to literally run after him with people attached to the vehicle. Positively the worst travel experience I have ever had and I don’t understand how something like this even happens.

RUDE DRIVER on both journeys. Bus was on time for both Journeys. must say driver needs to have a bit more manners with his passengers he shouted at me on the first journey out to Varna as I was trying to open my emails with the tickets on to show him and on the return journey he shouted at me again ,made me get off the bus to show him my return ticket, I think he was laughing about it with another person this is well out of order I have pins in my leg after a Bad Accident and can find it hard walking at times and because or this I will not use your buses again.

Transporting people and transporting potatoes are two very different things.. The driver drove the bus in an extremely risky manner, not considering that there were passengers behind him for whom he was responsible. He did not respect the speed limits indicated on the road signs and on average exceeded them by about 20 km/h. There wasn't a turn where all the passengers weren't stuck left or right on the sides of the bus. There were several situations on the road where we miraculously avoided an accident. If I were this driver's employer, I would immediately fire him, and if I were a police officer, I would take away his driver's license. Sooner or later, the driver's luck will fail him, and then everyone will wonder why this happened?

I liked the comfort of the bus - it was clean, well airconditioned. The driver was polite, the speed of driving was great. To be honest, I'm positively surprised by the trip. The e-ticket from GetByBus was not indicating that we must go to the bus station desk and we need to get the printed ticket there. Having in mind that we have printed the e-ticket on paper, we had again to go to the desk. The message that we should print-out the ticket at the desk at the bus station arrived a bit late (9 minutes before departure). Thanks to the driver we did it even before we received the sms. There was a long "toilet and smoke" break before the border control which took almost 30min.

The tidy bus, the comfort travel. After entering Bulgaria, the driver drove too fast (even before reaching the highway).
