Anonymous Aircon not working and bus delayed. For the entire trip, the air con wasn't fully functional. It was a long, hot trip! The bus was delayed by 45 minutes on a four hour journey. Some of the delay was due to roadworks, but also a lot of time was spent on delivering some car parts to various locations along the way?

Anonymous Was very late and not traffic related. Driver and co worker were friendly and appreciable. Driver was safe and not erratic. I don’t think the poor service was their fault. Lateness of bus pick up. Pick up point was incorrect. Bus not bearing the signs of travel company ‘Drita travel’ instead it had a stick on sign ‘flexi bus’. No sign on bus to say where it had travelled from or where it was travelling too. Bus smelt of diesel at the back. We weren’t dropped off at the bus station which is what was in the booking information. Wished I’d just booked a local taxi now.

Anonymous All on time and actually arrived at final destination early. The bus was extremely warm with no windows or air conditioning. It should also be made clear at the time of booking if there will definitely be an extra charge for baggage so that we can be prepared.

Anonymous Dealt with an issue. We were given precise instructions for pick- up in Rruga Teuta including GPS coordinates. The bus went past at the correct time. We waved to the driver. He saw us but kept going. A little time later a car came and the driver asserted We were at the wrong place. No point arguing because now we were drenched and cold after a wild storm blew in. After that all was fine, but it is good that the mistake (not ours) was corrected. As above on boarding instructions.

Anonymous The minibus was good and clean. The Aircon was never turned on and the ride was HELL. The bus did not have AC and the driver kept turning on the fan or maybe the AC was broken. The bus is packed and has no windows to open so the 4 hour ride was HELL. Kept complaining about the AC but the driver didn't care. He stops the bus when he wants to buy food or veggies but when we are at the bus stop, the stop time is hardly few minutes except for the one stop which was 10 mins.
