Operator changed location (they moved their office) but we didn’t get notice until night before. We were asked to arrive very early like 90 minutes early and it felt like they put us on an earlier time bus but one with more stops so later arrival time. Bus said it had WiFi but we couldn’t find it by name. One of our cabins had working usb power but our other cabin did not. All of those were minor inconveniences but is the reason for not 5 star review. Otherwise bus was clean, cabins were very comfortable, bus driver had great communication, and we enjoyed our overall experience.

The bus was very comfortable. You can rest during the trip since the seats convert into beds, and there are curtains to block out the light. It has enough space to lie down fully stretched out (I’m 1.80 m tall). We were given water, and the bus made stops where you could buy things. I didn’t take the overnight bus, but if it’s this comfortable, it wouldn’t be a bad option for sleeping.

Equipe não sabe se comunicar direito. Ônibus em condição duvidosa e o motorista dirigiu olhando para o celular vendo jogo de futebol e depois série durante todo percurso.

We had booked a normal bus but were put on a sleeper bus for the trip. The bus left on time and was quite comfortable for the 4 hours. My partner who is tall found it a a little short for him. There was someone at the station

I believe we were issued used blankets. The bus smelt of cigarette smoke. We arrived over an hour late. Staff just took the rubbish from the bus and placed it on the street

Cabin was alright, but staff were very rude and refused to help, and there was a delay of almost 2h due to frequent unannounced stops
