According to user feedback, the service provided was satisfactory overall. However, there were some expectations for a more modern bus type during intercity travels and concerns about the lack of air conditioning on long journeys.

The coach was clean and comfortable and ran to time, in fact we arrived 20 mins early. There was a timely stop at services to use facilities, get refreshments. As an English visitor to Bulgaria I found the signage at the bus station in both English and Bulgarian very helpful.
