Additionally, the government has invested in improving the infrastructure and connectivity of bus routes to enhance the overall travel experience for tourists.

Underlying macroeconomic factors: The Montenegrin economy has been growing steadily in recent years, which has positively influenced the Buses market. Economic growth has led to an increase in disposable income and improved living standards, resulting in higher demand for transportation services. Furthermore, the government's focus on developing the tourism sector has boosted the overall transportation industry, including the Buses market. The increasing number of visitors to Montenegro has created a need for reliable and efficient transportation options, further driving the growth of the Buses market.
