I don’t have problems with the driver or his van The problem is with you & bus station employee! I didn’t like it because I was forced to pay for my ride again at the bus terminal. I booked on line. You failed to advise me to print my ticket. The mad women at the terminal didn’t care that email they provided did NOT work and I was unable to print it. That was their fault, not mine!!! They were extremely hostile and rude! They told me to pay again if I wanted to take the bus. They refused to help me or listen to me even though it their email that was wrong! This was EXTREMELY UNCIVILIZED!!! I will complain to your embassy in my country, because one young, big man pushed me away that I almost fell down! I was assaulted by your citizen!! The bus terminal staff took advantage of me making me pay again! This is discrimination and it’s disgusting!! READ ABOVE!!

The driver asked us to pay 5€ more for our hand luggage. Something we didn't understand why. When I refused, he took my suitcase and threw it on the sidewalk and asked me to leave. I was forced to pay anyway, unacceptable behavior on the part of the driver.

The driver was very rude. He charged us extra for luggage without informing us in advance. The driver was very rude. He charged us extra for luggage without informing us in advance. When we weren’t sure about the stop in Budva, he wasn’t willing to help us; he almost left us in the wrong place. He ignored our questions and was very arogant. That was the worst public transport I’ve ever seen, I wouldn’t like to use this way of travelling ever again. I don’t recommend it.

On time and good value for money. Straight forward and on time. Comfortable bus with lovely scenery on route. Rude staff at the terminal and no indication of having to pay a 1 euro fee even though I had printed the bus ticket.
