Worse bus trip I've ever taken, the two drivers have no respect neither any ounce of humanity, they stopped 3 times in 12+h of trip while refusing to let people out to pee or get fresh air while shortly stopping 5 min. This level of service is unimaginable, they can't even communicate with the customers as they only speak Bulgarian. Shame on this company they shouldn't be authorised to work across Europe with such attitude towards passengers.
