Very uncomfortable, rest breaks were infrequent and not properly timed, with the bus sometimes leaving without people. We arrived many hours after we were scheduled too.

Had to change buses midway. Fortunately conductor from first bust waited with me and conversed with second conductor to explain where I was going and that I had online booking.
