Image 5
| On this screen (Image 5 above) please note the TIMER (00:20:30 minutes); this means that the tickets you have picked are reserved for 20 minutes and 45 seconds and once the timer reaches 00:00 your tickets will automatically be released so that other travellers can purchase the ticket.

If you have already used getbybus.com to purchase a ticket you can sign in to our system using the e-mail and password or Google plus account you used by your prior purchase and then continue from there on. |
SIGN UP (Registering) on Getbybus
| At the sign-up screen on getbybus.com (Image 6 below), you will have to enter your e-mail, name and a password of your choice. Pay attention to adding the correct e-mail address because if you enter the wrong one you will not receive your ticket after you have completed your purchase.

Pay attention to the total price amount which should be changed according to the voucher. NOTE: Unlike before, you are not able to add any more passengers during your purchase process.

We HIGHLY recommend you click on the big blue button “My tickets” which takes you to your account on getbybus.com; from here you should download and save your ticket. Our system will of course also send the ticket to your e-mail address but in case you have mistyped your E-mail by the registration, you are not dependent on the E-mail. From the My tickets area, you can also click on the city name from where you are travelling to see the information about the bus departure location. |

Have return flight Sept.11,2022 at 14:00 from Zagreb Airport to Toronto, Canada.
Will be only in Kotor Montenegro. Unable to find a bus from Kotor that will either connect to Croatia Airlines in time for their 06:15 departure or can’t find a bus that goes directly to Zagreb. Either option is good. Dates are flexible (as I can stay in a hotel for a day or two) but must be on my flight to Toronto. There were a couple of buses online but it said “no online” purchases so there are no guarantees. Can you help me out.
Hi Sylvia,
the bus line Kotor – Zagreb is currently not available online.
However, it is a bit too early to know the departures for September this year, so we suggest you keep following our website (on the link) as the date approaches.

There are now information about what counts as a children och student? Where can one find this information. Very poor!
Hi,
a student is a person who can prove their student status with a valid document, regardless of age.
Regarding a child ticket, it depends on the carrier – each carrier has its own regulations on this point, and some of them don’t even offer a discount for children.
However, it is usually up to the age of 12 or 13, if there are no discounts for children, you won’t see the difference in price when choosing a departure on our website (although you picked a child ticket).
