Our bus from Budva to Podgorica broke down on top of a hill. Good van. Our bus from Budva to Podgorica broke down on top of a hill. We were left stranded and told back up will take 2 hours to arrive. Our flight would’ve been missed if we ourselves didn’t stop vehicles for ride. We were left on our own.

Terrible facilities, inhuman treatment, delay with no apologize. Nothing. This was my worst trip. I reserved the tickets online, they did not accept, asked me to print at the counter. The woman was unfriendly and print the two tickets 4 euros! That was outrageous. Moreover the bus was delayed more than an hour but nobody mentioned it or apologized for it. When the bus arrived the busdriver did not want to get us on the bus altought we had the tickets, because I did not want to gave him even more 2 euros for the small baggages (and I had no coins left) which are small and free at Wizzair and other bus company in Montenegro did not asked money for them we could bring them to the bus. Furthermore the busdriver pushed my daugther away when she wanted to get on the bus. Fortunately one passenger who was very kind gave me 2 euros so the busdriver at last entered us the bus. I have never had such degrading experience before.

The bus eventually got us to Podgorica, and we were able to catch the bus to the airport. The bus was late by almost an hour. We though it might not even arrive, which would mean we would have to order taxi for 70€/person to arrive there on time.
