This was one of the worst trips ever! Firstly,we had to wait for more than 1,5 hour in the middle of nowhere for the driver of the returning route from Greece to switch busses with our driver! Of cour ... This was one of the worst trips ever! Firstly,we had to wait for more than 1,5 hour in the middle of nowhere for the driver of the returning route from Greece to switch busses with our driver! Of course, due to the fog,we arrived to Sofia bus station around 8:50am and then, the driver told us to get our luggage and get off the bus, because the route was over! I spent a very long time on hold to contact Union ivkoni and the customer service lady told me that, because we were too late due to the fog (nothing was mentioned about us waiting for the drivers to switch for no reason!!), the other bus has already left without us on it!! The next option they offered me was to rebook my ticket for the route at 16:00pm!! What was I supposed to do in Sofia all this time with my luggage?! The lady told me to leave my luggage at their offices,but still they couldn't offer me another option..I was forced to book another ticket with Arda tur and pay 23€ extra to arrive home safe!! Luckily, they had a route at 10:00am and I managed to leave then!! I would also like to mention that I twisted my knee as soon as I got onto the bus from Bucharest, because another girl was rushing to get in, so you can imagine how much I was suffering during this trip!!
