It was easy to spot the bus at Bansko train station as it is not a very busy station and the bus was clearly labelled with the bus company name and logo. The bus came on time and arrived on time into sofia, allowing plenty of time to explore the city before dark in the summer...There are no phone/ device charging ports on board. So make sure to to be charged before you go!
