Horrible experience. The bus was late, overcrowded, and many people had the same seat number sold to them. Also, it was not written on the bus that it will stop in Rijeka, nor was the majority of passingers including the Bus Station in Zagreb aware of this. Also, there was no info written on the ticket about where the bus will be arriving.

Bad experience. Good driver Good bus. The bus set off more than half an hour behind schedule. Before departure, the handling of passengers and their luggage was lamentable: jostling, inability to manage the pack. There was no organised queuing using, for example, a system like that used in airports, which made it difficult to check tickets and collect the supplements to be paid for hold baggage. The departure from Zagreb was planned as follows: Zagreb - Rijeka Departure: June 18, 2024 | 5:30 pm Arrival: June 18, 2024 | 7:45 pm Company: Arriva - Autotrans Translated with DeepL.com (free version).
