In fact, it wasn't of your responsibility. The configuration of the bus wasn't the same as the one on internet. So, when the passengers enter to sit, it as been a kind mess. After, the trip was the trip ! 😉

The bus came almost an hour late. They give my seat to another person. Even though I resisted, they didn’t care at all. Inside the bus was too cold. And they play loud movies whole night as well as music. If you have chance look for another buses in different company which is slightly expensive but more comfortable I hear.
