This route covers a distance of approximately 166.59 km, making it a perfect mid-range journey for travelers. With a fixed ticket price of 10.0 EUR, the bus offers the most economical way to travel between these two points.

Choosing the bus over a private taxi or car rental offers several advantages beyond the 10.0 EUR price tag. While a private car might save a few minutes, the bus allows you to sit back and enjoy the views without the stress of navigating border traffic. In terms of environmental impact, a single bus journey significantly reduces carbon emissions compared to multiple private vehicles. Gjirafa Travel further modernizes this experience by offering digital tickets.
