Bussen zijn het meest betaalbare vervoermiddel met een groot aantal terminals in het hele land en handige dienstregelingen om je te helpen je reis te plannen. De bus is een handige optie zowel voor degenen die reizen met een beperkt budget als degenen die niet willen inleveren op comfort. Karat S biedt busdiensten die je online kunt reserveren. Voordat je je ticket boekt, lees je de beoordelingen van andere reizigers om de optie die het best bij je past te kiezen.
Wat zijn de belangrijkste stations van Karat S?
Karat S rijdt met bussen van en naar de volgende terminals:
De prijs van je busreis hangt af van zowel de bestemming als de klasse van je ticket. We willen je erop wijzen dat niet alle ticketklassen beschikbaar zijn op bepaalde routes, maar voor langere reizen is er bijna altijd een goede keuze beschikbaar. Kies voor een slaapbus voor de meest comfortabele reis met overnachting. Slaapbussen zijn meestal uitgerust met ligplaatsen of zachte stoelen met verstelbare rugleuning, hebben een toilet aan boord en je ticket kan ook andere extra's bevatten zoals snacks of zelfs een lunch of avondmaaltijd. Een nachtbus nemen is ook een goed idee als je wilt besparen op je hotelkamer. Overdag is een expresbus vaak het voordeligst, omdat deze minder vaak stopt dan een gewone of standaardklasse bus. Dit betekent dat je sneller op je bestemming aankomt. Op sommige routes kan het van cruciaal belang zijn om de juiste klasse te kiezen, want een gewone of tweede klas bus kan bijvoorbeeld 6 uur nodig hebben om de afstand af te leggen, daar waar een eerste klas of expresbus in twee uur je bestemming bereikt!
Voor en nadelen van reizen met de bus
De voordelen van reizen met de bus
Bussen hebben meestal het breedste netwerk van bestemmingen. Ze reizen naar plaatsen waar je met het vliegtuig of zelfs met de trein niet kunt komen.
Reizen met de bus is gemakkelijk, want je hoeft niet lang van tevoren in de busterminal te zijn, en het inchecken is meestal een zeer snelle formaliteit in tegenstelling tot reizen met het vliegtuig.
Buskaartjes zijn zeer betaalbaar. Ja, er zijn dure eerste klas of VIP-opties, maar als je slechts een beperkt budget hebt, is de bus je beste keuze.
Tegelijkertijd zijn er verschillende klassen van dienstverlening voor elk budget. Als je op zoek bent naar een hoger niveau van comfort, dan heb je hiervoor de keuze.
De nadelen van reizen met de bus
Bepaalde busterminals kunnen zich buiten het stadscentrum in de buitenwijken bevinden. Dat betekent dat je rekening moet houden met extra tijd en geld om naar deze busterminals te reizen. Op bepaalde bestemmingen kan je dit meer geld kosten dan je zou verwachten, omdat slechts een beperkt aantal vervoersmaatschappijen de route mag bedienen en de prijzen kunnen zijn opgedreven.
Tijdens drukke weekenden of in het hoogseizoen kunnen bussen die sommige toeristische bestemmingen verzorgen, volgeboekt zijn en moet je van tevoren reserveren.
Hoewel bussen niet zo afhankelijk zijn van het weer als veerboten, kunnen busreizen ook worden vertraagd of geannuleerd als gevolg van slecht weer of wegomstandigheden. Houd hier rekening mee als je tijdens bepaalde seizoenen of naar bepaalde bestemmingen reist.

Corruption. The bus was quite comfortable. The bus driver told my friend that they couldn't get in the bus without the ticket in paper. However, they proposed them to pay extra (250 dinar) so that he could get in. He didn't explain me anything, because he didn't speak English (or he didn't want to), so MY FRIEND had to told me that I had to SUBORN the driver, so that he could look for my name in the list. I swear it is the last time I travel with you.

Great driver but clearly very tired. Clean bus and easy booking. The driver was clearly tired on the long stretches and I watched him nod off as if falling asleep 3 times which made me extremely nervous. The rest of the journey was fine and I was prepared to leave an excellent review as otherwise he was a fantastic driver but this CANNOT happen- open the window, put on music, drink loads of coffee or something but you should be able to do 2.5 hours without an issue or don’t come to work. Next time I will probably take the train so I don’t have to worry.

Other issues. Clean tidy on time. What is with the paper ticket requirement. You pay online get a qr code and yet that's not good enough. If you are going to do that should just tell people to pick up ticket at the station and have them waiting. Actual flix bus has PDAs why doesn't this sub contractors. Also why no toilet on board. This is ok but not up to the flix bus standard.

Reliable and punctual. Everything was fine and we arrived even before the scheduled time. Printing a ticket is a hassle. They should accept a mobile ticket (and state this fact when booking).

Convenient Travel from Plovdiv.to Sofia. Bus was easy to find and it was a comfortable ride. Travel is about 2 hours. I had a language barrier but could figure it all out. Driver was excellent and drove safely and at a good speed. I never felt worried about the driving. Ticket must be printed on paper. I didn’t know this and had a bit of stress getting the printed ticket before departure. No bathroom on board, which I think was uncomfortable for a couple of riders who did not know.

Great busride, but unfriendly driver. Bus itself was great, with airco and comfortable chairs. Bus driver didn't speak English and was very unfriendly. Bus ticket needs to be printed, while we got a QRcode, what is a waste of paper.

WELL.. Confortable seats and charger. They weren’t no silence during a big part of the trip. The bus smelled tobacco so bad. It’s was disgusting. We really believe that the drivers were smoking inside. One of the drivers did not stop screaming in every stop that we made. We understand that he had to warn the passenger that should go down the bus but, let’s respect the other passengers. The truth it’s that tobacco smell was the most unrespectful thing. Wifi only in Istambul. When you cross the border nothing.

Bad company. The ride from Sofia to Plovdiv the same day was fine, we arrived earlier than expected. The bus driver and the woman from the desk-ticket office were very rude, because you can not have the ticket on your mobile phone and you need to print it.. Plovdiv-Sofia, the ticket office gave us a ticket with the incorrect date, and we could not get on the bus. The other buses for late afternoon were full, so we had to buy a train ticket, and the company didn't do anything for us, they only wanted the money.. And again, they were rude. If you are going from Sofia to Plovdiv, or the other way, please choose another bus company.

Good. Cheap tickets and buses were frequent. We missed our bus due to the bus we were catching into Sofia being delayed at the border from Serbia. The lady at the ticket counter was very unhelpful and unsympathetic. We had to pay full price for the new bus ticket.

Bought a ticket from Burgas to Budapest. It didn’t say anywhere we would change bus in Sofia. There were cheaper tickets than this one but I chose this because I thought we would not change buses. At least it should have been written somewhere!

Make sure you get a "real" ticket. The online booking confirmation I printed out was just that - not the ticket. You have to exchange the confirmation for a real ticket at the Karat-S desk before boarding the bus. That's important because all tickets are allocated seat numbers. The bus driver wouldn't let us on in Sofia, but did after checking with the Karat-S desk. But the woman there should have given us proper tickets with seat numbers. We (and other tourists) had to move twice before we found non-reserved seats. The woman at the Karat-S desk in Plovdiv was very helpful and printed out proper tickets with reserved seats for the return journey. Now I know exactly what to do, I would definitely use Karat-S again!

Friendly staff, good bus. Friendly staff Clean and comfortable bus Good timing. When you sell tickets, the place of departure should be specified. We almost missed the bus because we couldn't find it. You should add that the bus goes from office 126. The drivers should take turns driving, as our driver was visibly tired.

Stifling Hot Journey. Ride was smooth and left on time. There was no air conditioning and the thermometer reported temperature of 31’C. Several passengers requested the driver do something, which I guess he was unable to do. The entire trip was airless and made us feel quite unwell. Dangerous to travel like this at the hottest part of the day.

Good and Comfortable coach trip. Comfortable seats and good air con. Got from A to B fast and simple. I didn’t like that there was no seat number information on my ticket that I bought online. Luckily the host of the coach had our names and seat numbers on a piece of paper. Also would had been good if we could use the toilet throughout the journey.

Good to prevent queuing in the bus station and also to ensure you have a ticket in the time you want- No queueing - Bus was comfortable and clean- No seat number printed in our ticket: the driver didn't know which was our seat and we had to move around several times as people that bought tickets in the station had their number printed. - For the return ticket we went to the ticket office to check if we had seats assigned. The ones assigned were the most uncomfortable ones (not enough space for legs), but we're not sure if this is always the case or not. - Tickets MUST be printed out. They're not allowed on the phone.
