On time, comfy seat and easy check in. Only downside was the strong AC, even though mine was closed it was still cold with a scarf on top as a blanket, long jeans and t-shirt.

Got from A-B. Departed slightly late, longer stops meant we arrived 2hrs and 10 mins after published arrival time. Luckily we made it to ferry check in with 3 mins to spare. Seats were comfortable enough, bus was old with broken air vents (couldn’t restrict airflow), no ability to charge phones, overall - as expected for this route.

The bus was very comfortable and almost empty, but we arrived 1 h and 40 minutes later and the bus had to do few stops to let other passenger get off so it’s not direct bus.

The bus was not clean and made so much noise it was hard to sleep. Also, the bus driver randomly stopped twice without saying anything and then went out to get food for himself while we had to wait in the bus
