Clean modern coach, ran on time but toilet should be available for use on a 3 hour journey and it wasn't.
I enjoyed the fact the bus left and arrived in time I did not enjoy that I was asked to pay 5 leva for an extra piece of luggage when the ticket states it is 3 leva..this happens to me every time and I use this bus regularly ..I would like someone to contact me to discuss this please!!!
The coach left exactly on time and arrived a little early which was great. However, I felt there were confusing messages about luggage.
