Super confortable véhicule and journey but no one told there was toilet in the back. I would have been great to know. And the driver was smoking while driving, so we were poisoned by the smoke…

The compartment we were assigned was actually a 4 berth cabin (with the top two berths not pulled down). The compartment was not the designated 2 berth VIP we had paid for.

Brent

The bus drivers attitude was completely unacceptable. The arrival drop-off was over 12 km away from where it was supposed to be and 4 hours earlier than stated on the ticket making it somewhat inconvenient and adding expence for pickup at 5:00am instead of 9:00am.
