Everything was perfect! The only thing what I wasn‘t prepared that much was the freezing cold aircon.

Le véhicule était confortable mais la climatisation ne fonctionnait pas et faisait de l'air chaud. Avec plus de 30° à l'extérieur, le bus est devenu un sauna et nous avons dû rouler comme ça pendant plusieurs heures (notamment à cause des bouchons).

There were no problems with purchasing the ticket online or receiving it from the attendant. However, at the gate (Gate 3 on July 9, 2024, at 12:15 PM), due to the inattentiveness of the girl at the door, I did not notice her and hurried to the gate with only 10 minutes left before the bus departure. She then shouted at me in a very rude and inappropriate manner, saying, “You can’t go anywhere without asking me.” I told her that se can’t talk to me like that and to correct her tone. However, she kept repeating what she said. I have never experienced such unprofessionalism and poor behavior in my life. Moreover, we had to load our own luggage onto the bus, which is extremely unprofessional. I was also very skeptical about the hygiene and cleanliness of the vehicle. The journey, which was supposed to take 5 hours, took 7.5 hours, resulting in a significant delay.

2 hours initial delay and then another 1.5 hours on top of the 5 hours of the planned journey. So it took us 8.5 hours instead of 5. Seats were comfortable though.
