Very prompt departure and comfortable ride but confusing checking onto bus when there were different sides of the bus for luggage and different destinations.
Assigned seats but even when booked together we weren’t seated together.

Pretty rude driver. Other than that, roads are terrible which is a warning for anyone travelling in the country by road.

The bus was exactly on time and travel was pleasant. The only problem we had was with the driver who was quite unpleasant and impatient when my friend from Finland didn’t understand his question “Airport or bus station “. He spoke Bulgarian of course and she had no idea what he was asking.
