This so called sleeper bus was among the most uncomfortable modes of transportation I have ever used. You either sit on the floor or pressed into the roof of the bus. There is no neutral seating position. The lie flat position is not completely lying flat and the most upright position is like the position of a poorly designed recliner chair at full recline, but with ldgs and head in odd positions. To add insult to injury, there was an announcement minutes before the journey that the promised water and snacks would not be provided. Water bottles were available at the bus station for Victoryliner to purchase for us, but they did not care to do that, despite it being 38 degrees at onset. The comfort room was not air conditioned and one could literally pass out in it, so I guess that was a reason it was locked by the stewardess halfway through a 5 hour trip. The stewardess did nothing on the trip, not even one announcement. I actually feel bad for her, though. She had no seat, but rather had to sit on the floor diagonally behind the driver, unprotected from catapulting through the windshield should the bus stop short at highway speeds. This experience comes at double the cost of the first class bus. The Royal Liner is a royal pain, both figuratively and literally.

After 27 hours crunched into an airliner seat, a personal couch and sleep area was the best part of our trip.

I booked for online in advance before traveling to make everything smooth and relaxed since coming from an overseas travel. But then when we arrived at the Pasay terminal, still we fall in line for 45HRS just to claim our physical ticket...if I knew it would come to this, we would better took the chance passanger which is way far easier than falling in a long line...

The bus experienced was very excellent.but the ticketing and waiting area was very worst.it takes 2 hrs to get the actual ticket ..I suggest make everything to be digitalized.and the waiting area should be more comfortable.
