Signe NWe sat in the front of the bus. The seats were not the comfiest, but the views were amazing. We stopped for a small break after about an hour and then had a half hour lunch break at a small restaurant where we could purchase kebap. Still, we arrived half an hour early. There were seatbelts (over the hip) on the bus and curtains for the windows. P.S. no air conditioning.

Joseph BDeparture point is the central Kars bus station, not the petrol station outside of town.
Left on time, arrived early! Cannot complain, worked like a charm!
