Re: [Debconf-discuss] Beta testing Zagreb-Banja Luka bus
The actual distance is around 20 meters (the bus is right at the exit
from the airport, which 5 meters from the exit from the customs area),
but if multiple flight land at the same time, it could take up to a
half an hour, mostly due to waiting for bags.
I can only fully support Moray's account adding that:
* hustlers could try to get you to ride to Banja Luke in their minibus
- do not go there
* bus drivers do not accept any cards, but there is a plenty of ATMs
at all ends of the bus journeys
* the luggage cost was 1 € for us (actually marked on the ticket)
* bus drivers can give you change for large bills as well
* in Banja Luka the closest ATM to the bus station is inside the bus
station (no Master cards, only VISA)
* the distance to the venue is around 3 kilometers, so taking a bus or
taxi is recommeneded, bus stop is a bit further along after the bus
station and some shops, the ticket costs 1.5KM and you get off right
after you see flashing sign 'Casino' and white sign 'Hotel Bosnia' on
your right, then walk back the 150 meters from that bus stop
Photos and a blog post coming tomorrow after breakfast
