Vozač je bio u redu, snalažljiv i govorio je engleski. Vozač je bio sam, ima loš mobitel za skeniranje karata i gubio je puno vremena pri pregledu karata. Autobus je krenio 25 minuta nakon zakazanog vremena jer je bilo puno kofera. Potreban je još jedan vozač koji bi naplačivao karte, kofere i stavljao ih odnosno pripomogao glavnom vozaču.

Vožnja je bila opasna i vrlo neugodna jer nas je 16 bilo natrpano u minibus, a kuferi su bili u prol. Nista. Zelim novac nazad. Premali prostor, koferi medu putnicima, voznja drndava kao daj je bicikl.

It is not COVID restriction time anymore. Please, for the sake of comfort of all passengers, open up the toilets on the buses. I often travel from Zagreb to Pula and the bathroom is either locked or it is broken and therefore locked. This is especially an imperative for older passengers, such as myself; and, it would be most reassuring to know that one does not have to practice deep breathing exercises before reaching a rest stop. The Zagreb to Pula route has only one or two rest stops at the most. That is fine for the 3 hour and 20 minute journey, but not for the 5 hour trek. I suspect that the bus companies are trying to cut corners, so as to not incur the modest expense of maintaining the toilets. Shameful. However, my driver on the Nomago 12:25 pm September 28th journey from Zagreb to Pula was courteous, competent and not at all like the usual nicotine-addicted, surly and rude Croatian drivers; those who also love to play bad Croatian music very loud on the speakers. Right guess: he was a foreign worker.

Late late late. The bus arrived one hour late. That was completely avoidable. For no reason it departed 15 minutes late and spent unnecessarily extra time on the stops along the way.

I should just have flown. Look, it was fine. The bus was clean, there was aircon (which made a nice change from the majority of the trains) and the driver seemed safe. It got the job done. The seats are incredibly cramped and I wasn't even able to open a laptop on my lap. I'd hoped to work while on the trip but it wasn't possible with the depth between seats. I also booked this option from the site because it was a shorter ride than some of the other buses to this destination. Unfortunately it took nearly double the time stated due to traffic. I realise this ain't the fault of the bus or company, but it would have been nice to have realistic expectations of the duration of this journey to better decide between the bus or plane.

Bus was clean. Very uncomfortable seats with virtually no leg room. As a tall woman I barely had space to sit let alone comfortably. I had to either have my legs in the aisle or shoved into the seat behind me. We left Zagreb on time; we were supposed to arrive in Pula at 3:50 PM. We arrived almost 2 hours past the stated time with no explanations or updates from the driver about the delay. I had to use my maps app to see how far away we were. Overall unlikely to book with this company again.
