I traveled with Sova Trans for the first time on October 25th from Budapest to Cluj-Napoca. The bus driver was György Tasnádi. He was polite and very attentive, I can only say good things about him. I hope my opinion will be similar on the return trip on Friday. I would gladly recommend Sova Trans to others.

The car was clean, the seats were comfortable and Mr. Tasnádi, the driver of the car, was polite and helpful in everything. Last but not least, he made a very good time, completing the trip in less than 6 hours, while not speeding, he kept to the Kreszt. So I can only recommend it.
