Thanks for sharing

Here is a tip you won’t here anywhere else. We took a cab for $300 from the front door of our hotel in Budapest to the front door of our Vienna hotel. It was a City Taxi. We had to negotiate a bit. However, it avoided all sorts of delays and extra costs and transfers. We stopped at McDonalds for big coffees and had a very nice driver.

It took a little over two hours. We saw great country. We were just two people, but if you spread the cost over four people it would maybe even save some money.

Plus, it makes a great story.

“I am just back from a trip travelling through Hungary on my way from Serbia to Austria via 75. I had no idea of the choas at the Hungarian border. I have travelled far and wide and have never seen a hang up like this in my life.

We arrived at 6:30am on a Sunday morning & it took us 3 1/2 hours to go approx 1 mile. It was not so bad going out of Serbia, but the Hungarian side was out of control. We had people turn off their cars and just walk around..they would go walk around and just leave their cars in 3 lanes of traffic..they would lean on their horns…little happened.

Finally when we got to the border control, they could not have moved any slower..if they did, they were going backwards. They were chatting with each other, stopped to drink water and were very rude…I guess this country is still stuck behind the iron curtain. I was later told that if we had come hours later, we would have been stuck there for 8 1/2 hours.

In this day and age, I cannot understand how a country could let this happen. There are such things as efficiency experts and perhaps hiring people that are motivated to move things along. Our check out took about 7 minutes by the time the guard came over and asked for the passports, registration, etc.

It is too bad that Hungary hasn’t advanced as well as some of the old Eastern countries..It is very pretty, just they had no idea how to efficiently run a border crossing. Please warn your readers…I would hate for folks to miss a full day sitting at a border crossing. This was really a crime.”

I’ve tried many times to book two tickets in the 16.30 hs bus from Buda to Prague next 1º September, but it was impossible to pay by credit card online.

I’ve got a Mastercard.

Could you please let me know if there is another way to make my reservation?

When you call them, they told me that your web page is OK(?)
Do you think I would take my change and buy the tickets when arrive at Buda?
Do you believe the buses will be very crowded for that time?

Tank you for your answer, and excuse me about my poor English
