Nice bus, I feel comfortable with the sofa seats. Operator directly message me on WhatsApp before the trip about pickup timing and the right location. Driver and conductor are good. I think We have 3 bus stopover for dining or toilet break.

The pictures of the bus did not match what it actually was. We were told that the pictures were of the night bus. Other than that, the ride was good and comfortable and even shorter than we expected.

There was nothing to confirm I had chosen the right bus, other than someone on the street pointing it out to me. The bus left late, made many quick stops along the way to pickup and drop off items, and the only food provided was a small bag of corn crisps. Some people were chatting on their cellphones loudly or playing music videos.

You pay for what you get. I paid for a sofa seat, still inexpensive given the ride lasted 8 hours. However, despite the large armchair, there was no legroom for such a long journey. The ride was rough, bumpy and unpleasant, but that’s the roads, and would be the same in any vehicle. There were 3 stops, 10 mins, 25 mins and 5 mins, at places where food and drink could be purchased and toilets used. This is the only other real alternative to flying. It’s a tenth of the price, but if you suffer travel sickness my advice: take the plane.
