Sharron CBus was comfortable. Pickup was on time. I am sure the driver has done that route many times but was a little crazy with his overtaking.

James Was a on a VIP9 bus with 11 passengers, no room for bags so they went in the hall way and on laps. Was moved from the front reclining seats to the back with no leg room and no recline (I'm 203cm tall). Driver put two 7 year olds in the front seats who where vomiting the whole time.

Christian RA decent ride all in all, unfortunately this is the bus with 3 columns of seats rather than 2, so a bit more cramped than usual. The first part of the journey is quite twisty as well. Other than that we arrived on time and stopped off at a pretty scenic rest stop.

Jaycob B2 stars for having a comfy and spacious enough bed allowing me to sleep and for sticking to the times as on the booking. The rest however I am not happy with.
Staff were smoking constantly, so the bus stank of smoke.
The bus stopped constantly with no communication at all to pick up packages etc which was completely fine. What wasn't okay was the fact our suitcases were constantly being rearranged and taken from storage and put on the street unattended so they could load whatever they were picking up. Made for a nervous few minutes waiting for the suitcases to be loaded back on.
Our suitcases ended up filthy and wet, stinking of a fishy smell. There are now black marks all over my grey suitcase.
Picking people up and letting them sit all in the aisles too was annoying, as I am tall and would have liked to be able to walk up and down the aisle to stretch my legs out. 10.5 hours in somewhat awkward positions wasn't fun.
Overall I would not book again. It was cheap yes, but the worrying about suitcases and then having them end up filthy, barely working wifi, bus stinking of smoke, no communication at all from any workers about stops (for toilet, food etc), and people in the aisles put me off. I know it isn't supposed to be a 5 star experience, but there are definitely ways to make it better for travellers.
