When we arrived in Plovdiv I slept. Would that have been my destination, then I could get out only in Stara Zagora. The driver should announce the destinations some minutes before arrival.

There was a problem with the ticket, they said that I wasn't in their system and they also said, that they didn't have a scanner for the QR-Code. They still let me travel but this should not happen again.
