My $12 bus ticket from Prague to Budapest turned into a 14 hour nightmare

The driver got lost twice, the AC broke in 90 degree heat, and they ran out of water halfway through. What should have been a simple 7 hour ride ate up a whole day of my trip and cost me a hostel night. Anyone know a reliable ground transport company in Central Europe that doesn't pull this stuff?

Check the train next time, seriously.

You're right about checking more carefully, @paigem76, but the train schedule is pretty misleading sometimes too. I showed up for a 9:15 train last week and it actually left at 9:12 with no warning. Really threw me off for the rest of the day.

Ugh, @paigem76, that reminds me of the time I missed the last bus because I was checking the schedule for the wrong day. Had to walk home in the rain for like forty minutes, it was brutal.
