Rijeka to Zagreb Destination Reviews

it would be better if there are some small cushions on the other hand price/value was so fair. It was smooth and nice drive. Drivers were careful. Zagreb-Rijeka bus was late for 10 minutes. Problem was as a foreigner you can't find anyone to ask if i miss the bus or is it late and it's really confusing. All the foreigners who were waiting for the bus were confused. It would be better to get e-mail or sms because peron number was also so confusing. Rest was good.

My neighbour was manspreading a bit! But we managed. Smooth ride, careful driving, helpful with luggage. When we stopped at Karlovac, the driver didn’t say how long the stop was for- sometimes they just pull in, a few people leave and we are off again. Sometimes it’s a five or ten minute stop, perfect for a toilet break. Usyally they announce this. So I asked “5 minutes?” He said “No, 2 minutes” so I sat down again and crossed my legs rather than be left behind, and then it was at least 10 minutes! ( I made it to Zagreb without incident by the way…).

bus je trebao doc na zabicu u 14:10, a mi se i dalje vozimo… sada je 15:02 i imamo jos 23km do Rijek. kasnjenje, ovo je cista prevara i legalna pljacka, ne obavjestavate putnike o nicemu, karte su skupe, a bus kasni, mogao sam uzet bus koji je isao pola sata prije, ali sam uzeo ovaj jer je trebao biti brzi, no medutim je prespor, prije bi dosao do Zadra nego do Rijeke koja je puno blize, sramota vas moze bit.

My seat kept feeling down on the person behind. The time arrival even though we stopped two times. My seat was uncomfortable plus I couldn’t adjust it at all. It kept falling down all the time.
