Transfer to Sofia

it was excellent value for money and the bus turned up on time at the departure bus station, and arrived early in Sofia...The driver did not check us onboard and there were several people sitting in the wrong seats and the passengers had to then ask them to move.... which they did, but some were reluctant to do so
