A) Before the purchase

If your destination is not in our standard offer, write us an email with your travel details (When, Where, Number of passengers, etc.) We will get back to you with a schedule and a price.

NO. Right after making the reservation, you need to go to a shopping cart and pay the tickets. Otherwise the reservation is not valid.

5. Why do you require 2 emails and a telephone number?

The bus e-tickets and our emails are often directed to spam / junk folders and deleted. If you give us 2 email addresses it is probable, that you receive the e-tickets or emails from us successfully. Telephone number is required because the bus company send sms messages if the bus is delayed.
