It’s a scam they say 4:20hs and it takes at least 5:30/6hs. It stops whenever they want, pick up passangers in random locations.

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
