FlixBus Venice Zagreb recent customer reviews

The bus arrived exactly in time, at 9.05am at the Marco Polo airport. We had one fifteen minute stop, one hour before arriving in Zagreb. What needs improvement to my opinion is that a sign is needed at the airport, to indicate where the Flixbus stops. This was unclear untill I asked an airport employee, whom indicated to walk towards a pink P-sign.
