Bus Travel Tips: how it works in Montenegro — first-hand

Short answer
Public transport schedules in Montenegro can be unreliable due to traffic, so check sites like busticket4.me and confirm routes locally before boarding. Always carry cash for bus fares and small purchases, as online ticketing is often unnecessary and direct connections may require transfers.

From real experience

Public transport from Budva to Sveti Stefan stops at city bus stops (not necessarily the main bus station), making it more convenient.
For routes like Tivat-Budva, buying tickets online is often unnecessary due to frequent departures, and travelers often pay a station usage fee anyway. Cash is king for local bus payments and small market purchases.

Public transport in Montenegro can be challenging.
Buses operate between cities like Herceg Novi and Igalo (approx. €2), but schedules may not be strictly followed. To reach places like Jaz beach from Bečići, one often needs to travel to Budva first and then find a connecting bus. Booking train tickets in advance, especially for sleeper compartments on the Bar-Belgrade route, is recommended.
