Didn’t understand why they put us at the last cabin which is a bit smaller than other cabins even though bus wasn’t full.

The bus was ok. None helped with luggage placement in the compartment and I ended up hurting my head

Good conduction felt safe. Also the bus is confortable. We had a problem with our arrival to the bus and they solved very efficiently. The arrival to Hanoi was with delay because of the traffic.

It was good and on time. Communication was good too. The only thing was that the one stop you had to pay to use the toilet.
