The timetable was wrong, or the bus was completely not on time. There was over three hours difference in the timetable printed on the ticket and the bus arrival. This was very problematic to me and I had to wait long in the terminal for my next connections.

The bus ride was very smooth. We had to load in the luggage by ourselves and our seat reservation did not work because two rides were combined in one bus. It was no problem, because there was still enough space to sit next to each other. There was a break after half of the time and we started and ended the ride on time. The seats were very big and comfortable. Nothing to complain.
