Split to Dubrovnik Destination Reviews
A
Anonymous Driver on the phone, unnecessary stops. the view. The driver drove for over half an hour with only one hand, using the phone with the other, and spent over an hour talking to passengers. Even in the low season, without road closures, the bus took an hour longer than planned. Two unnecessary 20-minute stops were made during which no one got off the bus. No wifi.

A
Anonymous strange business model. Safe driving. Drivers are making stops along the route to pick up additional passengers, that don't have place to seat. They charge them for this but I didn't see they are issuing any tickets. They are also making additional stops to deliver packages for random people that ask them to take something somewhere. This causes additional stops which causing delays.
