We decided to see the city of Mir and Mir Castle. To do this, we bought a ticket at the ticket office at the bus station in Minsk, where we were also informed that we would be able to buy a ticket back at the Mir city ticket office. But it's not like that. The cashier had her own plans for our return to the city (she has days off on Tuesday and Thursday). Joining a group with several tourists from our bus, who were also in turmoil because of the situation that life presented to us, we went to look for at least some information about buses. A woman at the entrance to the ticket office informed us that tickets could be bought on the bus, after which we tried to see the schedule on the information board inside the building through the window of the bus station building. We used our keen (and not so keen) eyesight, zoom cameras and other methods, nothing helped. So far, we are still here, we are not sure that we will leave. I will complete my story as soon as possible.
PS: As a result, we found out that buses and minibuses run from Mir to Minsk. There were two buses (around 8 a.m. and at 3:45 p.m.). The first one was not relevant, the second one was 10 minutes late, and we did not wait for it.
With minibuses, everything is a little better, but it's still very sad: there are more of them than buses, but there are no seats. We were advised to look at the schedule and tickets on the Atlas website. There was only one free seat for all minibuses (and, by the way, there are more than 10 of them).
Deciding that this was a misunderstanding or incorrect operation of the site, we decided to try our luck and try to take a minibus at 13:40. The driver told us that the seats should be booked in advance and everything was taken. So we stayed at the bus station for another couple of hours.
By the end of the second hour, we had a company of 6 people who were eager to leave this beautiful city with the scenery of the bus station, which was already very tired, and return to the capital.
As a result, happiness smiled on our group, and instead of the bus, which, as I already wrote, was late, the long-awaited minibus arrived, the driver of which told us the cherished words: "We have three seats!" That's how we left.
By cost:
We traveled from Minsk to the World by bus for 10 Belarusian rubles. From the World to Minsk by minibus - for 10-16 Belarusian rubles (for some reason the driver said that the cost was 10, although it was written on the website that it was 16 rubles).
In general, my advice to you is, if possible, buy tickets in advance if you want to return to Minsk without losing nerve cells. And don't believe the women at the ticket offices, they are not always one hundred percent honest with you and may inadvertently hide some important information from you, for example, about the ticket website...
It was closed, although the staff went in there, but closed the door behind them. We waited for the bus on the street for about an hour, the weather was not good.
How do I get there myself from Minsk?
It is necessary to buy a ticket for INFOBUS (on weekends it departs from the central bus station at 8:40) A ticket for 1 person is about 11 rubles.
Focus on the bus number 7405. He will take you to the World from Minsk. And he will bring you back, but keep in mind that this will happen at 16:20 (the schedule may change)
In general, there were no problems with landing, but there was snowfall, about -1 degrees, so there were few people.
I hope this text will help someone.
P.S. There are also rumors that there are private traders who will take you to Minsk for 12 rubles, but this is not accurate.
A cash register is like a cash register-it performs its function.But there are fewer and fewer bus routes every year. It is very difficult to get there, and if you consider that this village is a tourist village, then you need as many transport routes there as possible, at least by minibuses.Under the USSR, the village had its own carpool, there were many routes in different directions and on weekends there was no bus, even a bus went to the Columns to the train 3-4 times a day, And now there is absolutely no communication from the Columns.There is a college in the village, and the children walk to the M! highway to go home for the weekend.
Beautiful on the outside, ugly on the inside. There is no timetable for commuter buses, only intercity ones. The toilet is God knows where and God knows what. Minibuses from/to Minsk stop nearby.
I love the World! It's a beautiful city, everything is so original. I was not at the car station myself, only at this bus stop our Novogrudok bus costs 10 minutes.
There is no complete bus schedule. There is no clear information when bus schedules change. Make Tuesday a work day. Otherwise, if the weather is bad, then there is no place to hide from the rain and wind. There are few places in the car for waiting for the bus

How I got back to the USSR: a modest but clean repair shop, a cashier's window, prices with pennies, tickets are sold upon arrival of the bus) But very responsible staff: we were a big group, so they contacted the previous stop, reassured us that we would all get out - this attitude is very pleasant, it forms the opinion of guests about the country and the people!
All buses from the World to Minsk are passing, so it's a problem to get on them. You can stand in line for hours waiting for a bus with empty seats. Especially on weekends.
