What are the Most Popular Routes of Nis Ekspres?

What are the Bus Classes & Prices of Nis Ekspres?

The price of your bus trip will depend both on the destination and the class of your ticket. Note that not all ticket classes are available on certain routes yet for longer trips there is almost always a good choice of options. Opt for a sleeper coach for the most convenient overnight trip. Sleeper buses are usually equipped with berths or soft reclining seats, feature an onboard toilet and your ticket may also include other perks like snacks or even a lunch. Taking a night bus is also a good idea if you want to save on your hotel room. During the day an express service is often the best value for money as it makes less stops than an ordinary or standard class bus and travels faster. On some routes it may be crucial to choose the right class as, say, an ordinary or second class bus may need some 6 hours to cover the distance the first class or express bus travels in two hours!

Pros & Cons of Bus Travel

Pros of Bus Travel

  • Buses usually boast the widest network of destinations covered. They travel to the places you cannot get to by plane or even by train

  • Travelling by bus is easy – there is no need to arrive to the bus terminal much in advance, and the check-in is usually a very fast formality opposite to air travel

  • Bus tickets are very affordable. Yes, there are costly first class or VIP options but is you are on a budget, bus is the first means of transportation you have to think about

  • At the same time, there are different classes of service to suit any budget. If you are after a higher level of comfort, buses get you covered, too.

Cons of Bus Travel

  • Intercity bus terminals can be located outside the city centre in the outskirts. It means you will need to calculate extra time and money to get there. In certain destinations getting from the bus terminal can cost you more than you would expect because only a limited number of transportation companies is allowed to serve the route – and prices may be inflated.

  • During busy weekends or high season buses serving some tourist destinations may run out of schedule and require advanced booking.

  • While buses are not as weather dependent as ferries, bus trips can also be delayed or cancelled due to bad weather or road conditions – keep it in mind if travelling during certain seasons or to certain destinations.

Bus Standard AC, Nis Ekspres, Nov 26, 2025
It was not direct. It was clean. Traveling.com listed it as “direct”- yet we made multiple stops before stopping at one place where we had to change buses and wait an extra half hour before continuing. Also, the bathroom on the bus was not available to use and the bathroom at the station charged money and only accepted certain notes. So if you had to pee and did not have exact change, you were fucked.

Odd experience. The driver was nice. One of them spoke enough English to figure out that we could take that Bus. We also arrived almost two hours early which I suppose is a good thing. The Bus did not depart from the international departure tracks but from the domestic one. After looking for a bus matching the provider we found the bus.

Easy ride using virtual ticket. Overall smooth, easy ride. Glad that I can buy my ticket online. It seems in various Balkan buses that they have a bathroom on the bus, but it's locked. It feels like we're paying for that amenity, but then not having it perhaps because the bus driver doesn't want to clean. But going to the bathroom is a basic human need.

У автобусі було тепло, дуже тепло (температура на вулиці о 19.00 була -5). Одна санітарна зупинка. Все по розкладу. Комфортна поїздка. Не можна на станції купити білет на обратну дорогу.

Sofia to Niš. Free wifi after crossing Serbian border, clean bus with many rubbish bags. Depending on your seat it’s quite spacious and windows are clean in some parts. No wifi on board until crossing the border into Serbia.

Good, efficient service. The bus was clean and left and arrived punctually. The bus was driven well. The seats were hard and not very comfortable for me. The driver was angry with one passenger for some reason, which created a bad atmosphere. Even if there was a problem, there is a polite way of dealing with it. His job is to make the passengers happy, not to harangue them.

some features. 1) Departure and arrival times corresponded to the schedule 2) the driver helps put the suitcases in the bus compartment 3) Air conditioning running all the way. for me these are not disadvantages, but features 1) there is no platform number on the ticket - you need to find out at the information desk of the bus station 2) you need to separately buy a ticket to access the platform (it was 100 dinars).

Good value. I was able to keep the return ticket of a cancelled journey. The support service was very efficient and friendly. The driver was careful on the roads. We were given seat numbers but these are ignored and we ended up at the back of the bus and where the air con was weaker.

Excellent journey. Everything went smoothly and perfectly from Novi Sad to Subotica. The station staff at Novi Sad were efficient and helpful. I don't know why there are several negative reviews about the bus station online. My experience was entirely positive. The bus driver was also friendly and the journey was punctual. No problems recommending this trip.

Bumpy ride. I guess this is not so much about the bus, but the roads are under construction and the driver goes really fast. In the mountains where it's all up and down, left and right, it was not possible to get much sleep, you would wake up because of the jumps, twists, and turns.

It was early departure but it was only way to reach Visegrad connecting bus in Uzice. Bus was very spacious and bag fit well in overhead space. Bus station signage was difficult to see at 5:00 AM. Prijepolje bus station located in less well lit area.

A passenger went to buy something at a stop and even thought his partner asked the driver to either wait or let her out with their luggage the driver insisted on leaving with her on board. She had to scream at him to stop and she fell down when the driver stopped the bus aggresively. Also the bus was full and at the back the radiators were on full heat and it felt like sitting in a sauna as it was 30 degrees outside.

First stop in SRB: no ATM + no pmt cards in-store = no bathroom access. I like that the driver finally clued in and realized he had to stop on the filling station on the highway so that about 15 people could take a pee after several hours. Our first stop in Serbia was at a bus station that had no ATM, did not accept any bank cards in-store, and had with a stubborn bathroom attendant who wouldn't let people through with foreign currency. It was a ridiculous situation.

Putovanje do Herceg Novog. Vozilo ka Herceg Novom je bilo staro 7-10 godina, ali je u dobrom stanju, klima je bila sasvim okej, sedišta veoma udobna i vozači su vozili top. U povratku nam je došao novi autobus koji je krenuo da radi pre dva meseca, čist uredan, klima rastura i za ovu cenu sve pohvale za Niš express.

Humanost na najvisem nivou. Hvala. Cerka se vracala sa kontrole iz Nisa. U autobusu joj se slosilo i od neprijatnosti dodatno kontrolora koji su je pokrali i maltretirali u gradskom prevozu. Gosp.Milan sofer i konduktor Igor su brinuli o njoj i vratili je u zivot. Kao majka, udovica od pre 6 meseci nemam reci zahvalnosti. Hvala jos jednom.
