I usually use Union Ivkoni when travelling between Bulgaria and Greece, but this time I was with a dog, and had to book with Arda Turs, as no other line allows dogs. The bus arrived on time, but the moment the driver started driving, I realized he was being very careless. He would not slow down turns and would even accelerate, and was not keeping to his lane. During the one-lane road that passes through the mountain between Sandanski and Blagoevgrad, he would still not slow down, even though it was night and there were plenty of other cars. At a brief stop, I approached him and asked him in Bulgarian whether he could slow down during the turns, as I was getting nauseous. He replied with arrogance that he is also getting nauseous, that he can't slow down because he needs to be on time, and commented that the road ahead was particularly difficult. When I asked what the solution to that was, he replied by saying "if we need to throw up, we will throw up". This is your typical vulgar, arrogant Bulgarian, who clearly is not interested in doing his job correctly, and would rather fight you if you try to speak up. Needless to say, he was driving so fast that we reached Sofia 15 minutes in advance. I am glad I survived! I was feeling uneasy and unsafe during the whole trip, and I am never booking this company again. If anyone wants to travel in the region, please use Union Ivkoni.
