Enjoyed the ride comphy bus but grumpy driver. No help putting bags on & off bus . Could have given comentry on different location. When getting to Zagreb there was no one to meet us we waited approx half hour before getting a taxi (bus was half hour late). Cheers Rodney

It would be a lot more reassuring if Flix had a sign at the bus pick up spot.
