Excellent! Only thing was that we planned the trip on the 3 hours that were shown on 12go, only for it to be 1,5 hours. If we would have known we could have planned better
Bus Express, KKKL Express, Jun 11, 2023
PS
The bus was not the one advertised, it was supposed to be a VIP coach with only 3 seats across, but this bus was an old bus with 4 seats which meant the seat reservations were not enforced. The coach driver only stopped for a comfort break after requested more than 3 hours in to the journey, then tried to drive off before 4 people had returned
