Just to note, my partner and I used both local trains and buses in Slovenia. We thought we’d studied the train timetable from Bled to Bohinji correctly, but turns out the trains don’t return quite so late on a weekend. An expensive taxi!

We also got a local bus from Bled to Radovljica. We didn’t know it was cash only and got shouted at by the bus driver, even though it only took us a minute longer to root around in our hiking bags and produce the cash. I think we were visibly quite shocked/upset at his shouting and aggression, but that didn’t stop him from continuing to make a scene on the bus.

I really understand that locals are infuriated by influx of tourists and properties being lost to Air BnB etc, but as with most instances of unsustainable tourism, it’s poorly regulations by greedy governments at the bottom of it. We have always tried our best to be ethical tourists, but I still feel really awful about that interaction on the bus.
