It was very difficult to find information about the bus ride. I got to Barcelona Nord about an hour early and spent almost 50 minutes running around the station trying to figure out where the bus would be, if it had already arrived, etc. It was early (the bus departed at 2:05am as planned), so I understand that a normal amount of staff was not available, but there was no support. There didn't seem to be anyone working there, and there weren't any phone numbers available for me to call with questions. It was very stressful and am glad I happened to be at the right place at the right time when the bus pulled up.

The trip was awful. The driver was so rude and get so angry at us because we went out. He even closed the door and didn’t allow us to get inside. When we came in, he was shouting at us in Bulgarian. I’m highly dissatisfied with this bus service.
