Trip from Bulgaria to Istanbul. Said was going to leave by 7am, bus didn’t get there until 8am. Everyone had to get out of the bus at Bulgarian border and line up to show passports. Then got back on the bus for 2mins and back off at Turkish border to line up and show passports again. Then had to take out all of our luggage to go through security. Load back onto the bus. Arrived at Istanbul airport at 2pm. But didn’t get to the bus station in Istanbul city center until 3:15pm. Was scheduled to arrive in the city center by 12. So it was 3.25 hours delayed.

Unfortunately the bus was over an hour late to our starting point. During the trip we made some weird and long stops resulting in us arriving over 3.5 hours later than scheduled. The busdriver and crew were nice though, and spoke some english. We got water and other drinks on the bus and even a snack.
