The bus network is comprehensive and it is safe to assume that there will be a link, though not necessarily more than once a day, between neighbouring towns of any size. A new timetable is produced every year but is not immune from change on short notice; in any case buses run more frequently in the summer, especially on the coast.
Montenegrin buses are by most standard cheap, frequent. reliable, safe and comfortable, though the inland buses can be a bit more rickety than those on the coast. Any risk is more likely to come from driving rather than from the behaviour of your fellow passengers , to whom Tourists are still a welcome rarity and a subject of friendly interest.
