Train service is great and very comfortable. Train and station condition are also great. Anyone opting for this will not be disappointed and the ticket once purchased from the website is sent over email within few minutes and all instructions are quite clear. Indonesian people here are very warm and welcoming.

It was not clear when we booked 2 seats together for a 6 hour trainride, that our seats where Not next to each oder. And nobody wanted to swap seats so we could sit together and enjoy the trainride together.

Not a lot of leg room. We bought economy tickets, more expensive tickets might have been roomier, but that is our only gripe. The train was otherwise very comfortable, clean and punctual. The staff were very helpful and friendly.

Very comfy bus, with lots of leg room, blanker, pillow, 3 Snacks and 0.5L waterbottle. Plus the staff on the bus was very kind. Would book again with Efisiensi :) They could improve communication for exact pickup location, after booking. I got the information shortly before departure, which was too late.

The bus was an hour late, but we were informed to be there even earlier than originally planned so we just had to sit around for 90min. The bus itself was great, snacks and lunch were included. The second driver was no good. He Facetimed, did snapchat updates, chatted on WhatsApp and talked incredibly loudly to his friends on the phone. He also drove like a mad man (worse than unusual driving here). We didn't feel very save while he was driving.
