Everything was on time, train and bus very clean and comfortable. People was very nice. Very cheap, Lot of space, beautiful views. It’ll be good that you say how many transfers we’ll have, for one way we took a bus from lupoglav to Rijeka, so we assumed it was the same the way back, but from lupoglav was another bus tu Pazin, so we almost got lost bc we were gonna stay waiting for the train in lupoglav. But it was good.

Over and above. The driver was one of the best we’ve had for a long time. He made progress but without harsh acceleration or braking - making for a comfortable and safe journey. The best part was that the spectacles we had left on the bus by mistake we’re retrieved overnight by the cleaner and with the help of staff at the Pula bus station were recovered the following morning. We really appreciated everyone’s kindness. Thank you.

We would recommend Brioni 100%! We enjoyed travelling in a smaller van-type bus. We were sat in front of a guy who took a phone call and spoke really loudly for 30 minutes. Maybe you could ask passengers to show a bit of sensitivity to other passengers, as this really wasn't good. I felt like pretending to have an urgent phone call myself and speaking really loudly to show him how annoying it was!

Good. Great and comfortable bus. The only thing that was less good was the fact that the bus was 20min late. But it was a good ride.
