Sofia-Plovdiv one day trip

W.e have planned to go with train but bus was faster and cheaper. It was pleasant ride and on time, ... When we came to Sofia station we were at loss which bus is going to Plovdiv and had to ask around, also there are 2 terminals so for tourists it can be confusing. Also in Plovdiv we were not able to buy tickets with cards both on the station and on the local bus, only local currency.
