<p><b>Metro</b>: Traveld Kapıkule/Edirne-Istanbul, Kapıkule/Edirne-Bursa. Sales Office Experience: <!-- People at the Metro Counter in Sofia are very friendly and speak English -->. At the Metro Haskovo Counter they speak understandable Turkish and are also very friendly. At the Edirne Counter  (Metro Volkan) personal was very stressed and unfriendly. Avoid travelling to or from Edirne with Metro anyway, the bus stops somewhere on the highway, if it stops (In my case it didn't which resulted in some adventourus hitchhiking to Haskovo).</p>

<p><b>Ulusoy</b>: Traveled Bursa-Ankara. Sales Office Bursa was friendly, but the Conductor was not very friendly and threw his garbage out into the nature.  Ulusoy uses its own otogar in Ankara, which is not really convenient.</p>

<p><b>Kamil Koc</b>: Traveled Ankara-Canakkale. Not the fastes but the most luxurious bus with personal TV stations and a big plus for the head phones.</p>

<p><b>Canakkale Truva/Soma Seyahat</b>: Traveled Canakkale-Edirne: Unprofessional counter personal. Suicidal driver. I am lucky i survived.</p>]]>

<p>Probably i will spend some minutes on trying to get the last.fm proxy working on my server. </p>

<p>But because most of the users with similar or interesting taste don't live in the three markets and the music catalogue will probably also focus on the three big markets. I guess last.fm will be boring in the future.</p>
