The driver didn't know how to use air conditioning. The first half to the trip the bus was at 19 degrees Celsius (as listed on the LED at the front) and, then swung to 27 degrees for the last half.

I was 30 minutes early looking for the bus however on the ticket it did not indicate where the bus would be located. I did not see a bus with the company name and eventually missed it.

Full bus. Seat rows close together, impossible to stretch legs. Short, 2 hour, trip; able to tolerate inability to move legs. I would NOT recommend Karat-S for any trips longer than 2 hours.

I have given two stars for the staff as the woman who checked our tickets was very offhand. She seemed angry that our tickets were on a mobile device and not a paper copy. I couldn't understand what she was saying as she spoke Bulgarian, but she made it very clear that she was put out.
The bus trip itself was ok.

I was expecting a bus, but it was a small, uncomfortable van that took us to Plovdiv. With no company identification on the side of the vehicle, it was a challenge to find it at the Sofia bus station. A Bulgarian woman who spoke English was a real angel and helped me find it!
