The bus arrived even a bit earlier at the destination! I had so much leg space and the seats were also quite comfortable. You get a blanket and a pillow is integrated into the seat. There was a toilet on board and they provided us with water as well as a small snack. The only annoying thing was that they woke us up at 1am for a break, but I just slept through it.

Bus was clean. The seats reclined so you could get comfortable but they weren’t very wide. We were provided with snacks and water and multiple stops along the way. Overall good experience and the pick up and drop off were on time

Super nice seats and ride, but the airconditioner was set to something like 14 degrees. It was literally freezing cold. We asked the driver to turn it up. He was literally wearing a fur jacket and a hat too. Didnt help with the temperature though
