🚌 What's the hardest part about finding a bus in the Balkans?

Hey everyone! 👋

I'm the founder of Bileto (bileto.mk), a platform I'm building to make travelling by public transport across North Macedonia easier.

One thing I noticed is that finding intercity bus information in the Balkans can still be surprisingly difficult. In many places, schedules are only available on a paper notice at the bus station, or you have to call someone just to find out when the next bus leaves.

That's exactly the problem I'm trying to solve with Bileto.

What you can do with Bileto today:

• 🚌 Find bus routes – Search intercity connections by date and see departure times, operators and ticket prices.

• 🚆 Explore train routes – View train schedules and routes on a map.

• 🎟️ Reserve seats – Make seat reservations with participating bus companies.

• 🌍 Use it in 5 languages – Macedonian, English, Albanian, Serbian and Bulgarian.

• 💶 See prices in MKD or EUR – Making it easier for locals, tourists and the diaspora.

• ⚡ No account required – Just visit the website and search.

I'd genuinely love to hear your thoughts:

1. If you've travelled around the Balkans, what has been your biggest frustration when looking for bus or train information?

2. What would be more useful to you: live departure updates, online ticket payments, or international routes connecting cities like Sofia, Thessaloniki, Pristina and Tirana?

3. If you visit Bileto, is anything confusing or missing?

I'm building this as an independent project, so honest feedback (even criticism!) would be incredibly valuable.
