Vozači
I u polasku i u odlasku bili su izuzetno ljubazni vozači, a smatram da je to baš važno. Iskustvo s drugim prijevoznicima je da su uvijek loše volje, viču na ljude, sve ih nervira, ne žele ti dat nikakav odgovor i jedva čekaju neku tvoju pogrešku (ili vezi karte, stvari, mjesta, biločega samo da se mogu iživljavati). Čak i ako je do njihovog uređaja za skeniranje, iskoriatit će priliku da te discipliniraju jer tvoju kartu ne mogu skenirati.. Upravo zbog ljubaznosti i biram Promet Makarska!

Travel Tips
Bus Duration: The bus journey from Split to Zagreb typically takes around 4.5 to 5.5 hours, depending on traffic and the specific route. Make sure to check the schedule for more precise travel times.
Booking Tickets: It’s a good idea to book your bus tickets in advance, especially if you’re traveling during peak times (holidays or summer months). This will ensure you have a guaranteed seat, as buses can fill up quickly during busy periods.
Bus Schedule: Buses run frequently throughout the day, with several departures from Split to Zagreb. The main bus station in Split is Autobusni kolodvor Split, and in Zagreb, buses usually arrive at Zagreb Bus Station (Autobusni kolodvor Zagreb). Make sure to check the departure times to plan your trip accordingly.
Arrive Early: Arriving 15-20 minutes before the bus departure time is advisable, especially during peak seasons. This will give you enough time to find your platform, and get comfortable.
Comfort on the Bus: The buses are generally modern and comfortable, offering air conditioning, Wi-Fi (on some routes), and rest stops along the way. However, it’s always good to bring a small travel pillow, water, snacks, and a light jacket for extra comfort.
Rest Stops: There are usually a few rest stops along the way (usually at gas stations Janjče or Zir), where you can stretch, grab a snack, or use the restroom. Be aware of how much time the bus stops for, as you may need to plan accordingly if you need to buy food or drinks.
Traffic Considerations: During high tourist season or peak travel times, traffic congestion can increase, which may cause delays. Plan accordingly and allow extra time for your journey if you have a time-sensitive arrival.
Luggage: Each bus typically allows one piece of luggage to be stored in the luggage compartment under the bus, and a small carry-on bag that you can take with you on board. Make sure to pack accordingly and ensure that your luggage is properly labeled.
Food and Drinks: It’s always a good idea to bring some food and drinks, especially for longer journeys, as stops may be brief. While buses often stop at service stations, having your own snacks ensures that you're not rushed or forced to purchase expensive items.
Safety: Keep an eye on your belongings while on the bus, especially in the larger cities like Split and Zagreb. Although bus travel is generally safe, it's always good practice to keep valuables in a secure place.
