When deciding how to get from Vlorë to Suharekë, comparing the bus with other modes of transport highlights its distinct advantages. A private taxi or car rental for a 326 km cross-border trip can be significantly more expensive, often costing triple or quadruple the €22.0 bus fare. While driving a personal car offers flexibility, the bus allows you to avoid the stress of navigating the "Nation's Highway" (Rruga e Kombit) and dealing with potential border queues. Furthermore, choosing the bus is a more eco-friendly option, reducing your carbon footprint per kilometer compared to a private vehicle. With modern buses, you can relax, work, or enjoy the scenery while the driver handles the logistics.
