Public transport
Intercity Transport Albania
The first thing you need to know as travelers visiting Albania is to forget your way of using public transport in your country. Here it functions the Albanian way, however it does function.
How it functions: intercity transportation among Albanian cities mostly functions with buses, with minibuses (furgon) mostly operating informally now. Buses usually run every hour, whereas minibuses will leave the bus station as soon as they get enough people.
