I'm all for either; I'll consider joining a bus that is organised,
although I'd probably have to wait quite some much at Zagreb seeing
the arrival times :-(
Else, http://en.taxizagreb.hr/taxi-prices announces 160€ for Zagreb to
Banja Luka, inclusive everything (e.g. road tolls), can be payed by
credit card. So if for example Eric Evans (arriving by same plane as
me) wants to share a taxi with me, that's a comfortable (if rather
more pricey than public bus) option for both of us, without waiting
for later arrivals (next one, Obey Arthur Liu, is 1h40 later)?
Another option is taking Obey Arthur Liu also onboard: 3 people in a
normal taxi is still comfortable and waiting 1h40 is certainly
bearable.
Eric, Obey (BCCed), what do you say about that? If you agree, I'll
make the reservation.
I'd be in to split in 3. My goal is to arrive at the venue before 17:00.
Slightly less practical and marginally cheaper is taxi cammeo if we
find one on the spot, for about 1000,- HRK (134 EUR, my own rough
estimate baed on per-km price), else a "radio taxi zagreb" we would
find on the spot would be about 1200,- HRK (roughly same price as
http://en.taxizagreb.hr/).
I don't see an option for bigger taxis (e.g. mini-bus / van) on the
website, but I'll call later today.
My last "certain" access to email is in two days, Saturday 23 July 6am
UTC (8am Spain / France / Germany / Italy / ... time).
