Reliable, on time for pick up. Made a number of stops along the way so arrived after scheduled time. Overall for the price it's worth it.

Bus departed at 11:45, 15 minutes earlier than scheduled and 5 minutes earlier than I was told it would depart when I arrived at the station. I arrived early so it wasn’t a problem, but just FYI. Bus was comfortable with good air circulation from the fans; the AC was either very low or not on at all, which was a relief. We arrived about 20 minutes after the scheduled arrival time, which is totally reasonable and can be expected. For the price it was a fantastic value.

I paid on net befor I came to the buss terminal, but the person at the station said I had to pay once more. If I did not pay, no travel. An other person, a woman, checked and said I already have paid.
