Benjamin WLovely big seats, was like being first class on an airplane. The seats retracted almost to a laying position. As a person who can’t sleep on buses, even I managed to get a hour. Time flew by, would highly recommend. First ever bus we have got and arrived early, we are usually late every time! Well chuffed.
Only downfall is I travelled with my partner, and we were placed 2 rows away from each other, so couldn’t talk throughout the journey.

Kurt WHard to locate the office, when we got there we showed our ticket and was given a tiny piece of paper and pointed at the seats, not once did anybody explain what was going on. Was then moved onto a small bus which was overcrowded and made to sit on our own bags. Had to change bus 3 times, again without anybody explaining to us what was going on. The bud we spent the majority of the time on was ridiculously uncomfortable for anybody over the height of 5 foot 5 as you physically could not fit to stretch your legs out.

Yola Mhe trip itself was fully okay. For travelers it was a bit complicated to find the "bus stop". It is actually only a small store in the middle of the city. And it left half an hour earlier, as it was also online.

Philippe GFirst, they put us in a minibus and explained that they transfer us to the next bus. Where, in what place was a mystery. No one speaks English. They brought us to the dark parking, where we changed the bus. A bus with beds, but if your height is more than 160 cm, then you will not be comfortable. The beds are narrow and short. The aircon blew the whole trip and it was cold. We chose this bus because there were no other options. As a result, we arrived at our destination 1 hour late

Travelling by bus essentials
- If you are planning to travel during the high season, weekends, or national holidays, booking your bus tickets in advance is highly recommended. The demand is at its highest, yet very often, the number of coaches serving the route remains the same. The earlier you reserve your seat, the better. On some routes, you need to secure your ticket more than a month in advance; on others, a couple-of-days advanced booking is enough. During such periods, try to book online beforehand whenever possible, as showing up at the bus station without a ticket may result in many-hours of waiting in the queue or leave you downright stranded.
- VIP, 1st, Gold, and similar bus tickets are the most expensive option, but they provide a higher level of comfort. Normally the price of such tickets will include wide soft reclining seats, blankets, water and snacks or lunch, and sometimes some toiletries. Upper-class buses travel faster, make fewer stops during the route, and normally provide more spacious seating to their passengers and a better travel experience.
- Not all buses have an on-board toilet, but generally, for all trips longer than three hours, all operators schedule a bathroom and/or a lunch stop. While operators definitely do their best to keep on-board toilets clean, the smell may be an issue sometimes. For longer trips, booking a seat a bit farther from the toilet may be a good idea. Also, using bathroom stops for your toilet needs is always better than trying to find your balance in an on-board toilet on the run.
- If you travel by an air-con bus, make sure to pack layers. A hoodie, a warm scarf, or a beanie hat may prove a good idea. Air-conditioning on buses tends to be excessive, and running nose and sore throats abound after even not the longest bus rides.
- Always use the security belts even if your bus ride attendant or driver does not insist on it. Your safety comes first – for you, for sure. All buses normally are equipped with security belts, but they may be fixed behind your seat. Take time to find the belt and fix it appropriately.
- To avoid being disturbed by overhead lights, switched on during stops even at night, and too loud music or sound from the on-board entertainment system, have earplugs and a sleeping mask at hand.
- As a courtesy to other passengers, avoid using strong perfumes or smelly foods. Some foods like cheeses or durians are forbidden to take on-board – check in advance. Alcohol is also prohibited on the majority of buses.
- Note that if the bus requires refuelling en-route, passengers will be asked to get off the bus. Operators are not allowed to refuel with passengers on board due to safety reasons. Usually, it takes from 5 to 10 minutes and is often combined with a toilet/lunch stop.
- If not stated otherwise in your tickets, arrive at the bus station 20-30 minutes before departure. It will give you enough time to find the departure platform and check-in. For international trips, you may need more time for check-in and border formalities.
