Anonymous Fast, straightforward ride! Bus had a delay of one hour and five minutes. Despite of the fact you ask for a phone number, no one warns you about the delay, so communication is poor. We almost arranged other transport.

Anonymous Late bus but made good time. Views were nice. When purchasing bus tickets if baggage fees will be extra you should always get the option to pay for it ahead of time. No where on our tickets did it say we would need cash for baggage. The bus driver asked everyone for 2 euros to store the bags. And wouldn’t let anyone on the bus with their bags. Other people on the bus had to give us euros to use as we weren’t even in a country where euros were the currency.

Anonymous It is a nuisance for almost everyone to have to principio the ticket. It adds a cost an is utterly u. Nothing. I had to use your service just because information in shkoder is inexistent. Otherwise I would have bought my ticket in a counter. Printing the ticket, having to pay for luggage portage. Poor business practices that add to costs and are simple irritant for customers. And outdated.
