We started off with a 45 minute delay. We then stopped at a random location where the bus driver and the manager got off for 15/20 minutes without giving us any reason for the stop. Throughout the journey to Hue we stopped at many different locations where they picked up or delivered packages through which we accumulated an additional one hour delay. At Hue we arrived 2 hours later than expected, not because of traffic (because there was none), but because of poor planning and the many different stoppages. In addition there were few toilet breaks for the 12h ride (which was supposed to be 10h). The driving of the bus driver was great tho and the little cabins were alright too.

Comfortable bus ride. The bus was ready on time. The bus departed on time. The bus mainly traveled on the highway. This made the bus ride comfortable. We slept reasonably well. We had a transfer at a parking lot along the highway. The bus arrived at its destination an hour early.
