Public transport around Teteven/Gabrovo/Lovech region?

Does anyone know where I can find out about local bus routes and times in the wider Teteven/Gabrovo/Lovech region? Google searches have told me that local routes are offered by all sorts of small bus companies and that you need to look at their websites, but of course there doesn't seem to be any info on what those companies are called either.

The context is that I'm considering moving to a rural property somewhere around there but don't have a driving licence and am not intending on getting one. [And before you tell me that living without a car is impossible, I currently do exactly that in a rural area of Yorkshire with horrendous public transport infrastructure. It's not always super convenient but it is possible.] The properties I'm looking at are close enough to the nearest food shops for me to walk or cycle there but of course I'll also need to be able to get to a GP, vet, train station, etc. every now and again. That's mainly what I'd need busses for and it's fine it they only run twice a day. Ideally I'd like to figure that out before I arrange viewings so that I can already exclude anything that wouldn't work. Although, comments by others re public transport in general in Bulgaria suggest that it may be easier to figure out when I'm there. Would you agree?

Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a mil! Or should that be благодаря? [Yes, I had to get Google to translate that for me but I promise I'll learn the language and the Cyrillic alphabet when I get there!! :)]
