It would certainly be very useful to know about (and advertise) if so. One alternative option I'm considering is to fly to Ljubljana and hire a car to drive to Banja Luka since from Cambridge I can easily get to Stansted from where I can get a cheapish easyjet flight to LBJ, compared with a ~2 hour drive to Heathrow for a more expensive flight to Zagreb the overall cost works out around the same ballpark and the total travel time seems to be roughly the same too. Perhaps the practicalities of taking a hire car across multiple borders will make this plan infeasible (plus it looks like TomTom only has partial coverage in the region). Does anyone local have any advice on this? Ian.

Oh, I see it's mentioned at http://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf11/Travel-Arriving#Official_transportation (I swear it wasn't earlier, ;-)) It would be useful to have some more concrete information since it would inform people's long-distance travel plans somewhat.

[Debconf-discuss] How long is the bus from Zagreb Airport to the main bus station?
Hello, How long is the bus journey from Zagreb airport to the bus station? The timetable at [0] only gives the departure times and the wiki [1] doesn't say. If I ask for driving directions on the map at [2] (linked from the wiki) it suggests 25 minutes which I guess is the lower bound for the bus. Also, the bus from Zagreb to Banja Luka is quoted as being "108, 123, 140 HRK" (depending on time of day?). Is that a single journey or return? If it is a single then for the return can we also pay in BAM (how much?) or should we ensure we have some extra HRK in hand? Thanks! Ian.

I'll give connecto-taxi.com a call and see what they say about a 9 seater. Thanks for doing the legwork on this Lionel!

I've just picked up a voice mail from connecto-taxi.com, for nine people they quote two taxis for a total price of 450 EUR, which is 50EUR each so a bit more than previously expected (I guess the price vs. # of people graph is a bit of a sawtooth as you fill cars). Is this acceptable to people? Lionel, did you hear back on any of the other quotes you were waiting on?

I'll wait until late-ish morning (~1100 UK time) and if I've not heard I'll book the connecto-taxi one. Could the 8 other folks send me (or the group) a mobile number of some description please in case last minute communication is required. Mine is +44 7801 437 543. Thanks again Lionel.

I presume so but I will double check when I book. Also there was talk of 20% deposit in the voicemail, I'll take care of that when I book and we can sort it out on the day.

I didn't hear so I have contacted connecto-taxi and after some confusion about whether or not I was Lionel ;-) and whether I was booking for 3, 8 or 9 people I have now booked two cars (and 8 seater and a 4 seater) for a total of 9 people for €450 and paid the 20% deposit and am now awaiting a confirmation email with voucher. I confirmed that the driver will accept Euros for the balance. I'm going pass on details of everyone's arrival times to the taxi firm too so that they have full information, but they are planning to pickup at my arrival time since it is the last one.

If anyone needs a copy for expense/sponsorship claims or whatever let me know and I can scan+email or fax it etc. BTW the cab company turned out to be "City Taxi" who are connecto-taxi's partner in Zagreb (connecto are actually in Split). Our driver was asking if I knew anyone who would design them a bookings website which was not "just made from templates" ;-). If that's your sort of thing I can put you in touch...
