Anonymous Backpacking. The driver facilitated a complex multi change of mini bus / terminals in tirana. Cancelled my 5am bus , for which I had to get up at 3am for ! Put me on a mini bus to tirana , then had to change mini bus again to get me to the right terminal for my destination. 3 minibuses and then dropped me 3.5 km away from the bus stop which the 5am bus would dropped me right by my hotel . Overall I wasn't impressed.

Anonymous direct trip from Ohrid to Vlora but expensive for the ratio quality/price. Le 25/06/2024 à 4H30 du matin, à Ohrid (devant la banque Sparkasse sur Bulevar Makedonski Prosvetiteli), nous avons pris le bus en direction de Vlora (Albanie). Il y a eu beaucoup de confusions au début et nous avons changé 3 fois de van/fourgon pour rien entre Ohrid et Struga, par rapport à la répartition des voyageurs entre les différentes destinations. Heureusement, de ce fait, nous avons pris un réel bus direct entre Ohrid et Vlora. Nous sommes arrivés un peu en retard (5-15 min). Cependant, ce retard aurait pu être évité car après le passage de frontière de la Macédoine du Nord à l'Albanie, le chauffeur a fait une pause sur une aire de repos/autoroute pendant 30 minutes et une autre, avant d'arriver à Vlora (ce que je n'ai pas compris) de plus de 30 minutes donc nous avons perdu 1H. J'aurais préféré soit 2 pauses de 15 minutes soit 1 grande pause de 30 minutes au milieu du trajet mais pas 2 grandes pauses. Je précise que le chauffeur de bus d'une autre compagnie, que nous avons ut.

Anonymous Not as bad as I expected. I made the grave error of reading the reviews for this journey at 4:15am, just before the bus arrived. This made me so anxious given some of the horror stories in the reviews about it being uncomfortably hot and inundated by cigarette smoke. But honestly, maybe my expectations were so low that it didn't turn out that bad, or maybe it just depends on the driver that day. Now, did we arrive at our destination over an hour late? Yes. Did the door to the minibus break and stop closing about 1/4 into the journey causing them to have to tie a cable to the handle to keep it closed while we drive? Also yes. But still, we sat near the back and didn't really smell the cigarette smoke, and since it was so early we were very comfortable with the temperature throughout. Later in the morning it started getting quite hot, and I was getting nervous again, but the driver turned on the air con which is super powerful towards the back and things were sorted. Overall I'm happy enough. I do wish we took a more direct route to Vlore instead of driving through traffic filled Tirana and dropping people off in Durres. I think if it wasn't for that, we would've arrived at the scheduled time of 9:30. Unfortunately with the breaking of the door and the long route through Tirana, it ended up taking an extra hour to get to Vlore. It was also very confusing at the beginning going through the border and nobody was telling us what was going on, but otherwise it was fine. There's only so much you can do to make a 5+ hour bus ride comfortable.
