Any guidance welcome!

Hi, When I was in Mangalia in 2007, there was a minibus that went from Mangalia to Varna with one stop somewhere in between. It was not terribly expensive (35lei). I am going back there this summer, and I have not been able to find any information on the net about it. Even the last time I had no information, I ended up getting the details when I was in Mangalia. I will be leaving from Constanta and going to Varna. A week later I will be returning from Varna to Mangalia. Is the minibus service still running between the 2 cities? And would anyone know the schedule for it? I cannot find any information anywhere. While i have read other constructive information about transferring a few times from place to place, I would rather get a more direct route like i had found in 2007. Thanks
