The bus was comfortable but the driver was crazy and after 5 hours from traveling the bus was so busy and ther 3 people standing with no seats so he told me and my wife to stand up so the other people can sit, I felt from him a little Racism because I don't speak bulgarian and I'm Egyptian, so I refused and told him to call the police so he got scared and continued the trip angry
