Decent, 1,5 house longer than advertised. Dont think is possible to make in the given arrival time so change it.

Absolutely on time, good driver. As a 1,85m tall person, I can only suggest to buy two tickets per person, if you zravel alone. You will get the complete berth then. With two tall persons it can be quite cozy :-)

Trip to go there was awful. The road is bumpy as hell and it was raining inside the bus.

There was a problem with the bus which should have been sorted out before being 3 hours into the journey.

The time of arrival announced was wrong. The price on the website was much higher than at the bus station.
