At the height of the season, comfortable sightseeing liners also run. Most often, there are local rides that connect the coastal cities. There are also ferries which run only a few times a week. The city transport is composed of buses and trams. Passenger services compared to other European rates are not expensive. It is worth noting that there is a healthy competition among transport companies working in the country, such that the comfort of a trip on the bus for the same price can vary greatly. The largest bus companies are Autotrans and Brioni Pula. A distinctive feature of traveling by bus is the music that plays in every salon.
