Good and cheap! Best to get on in main cities otherwise you need to stand for a short bit! But very friendly and safe! Tell your driver if you need to be dropped futher from your station. Show him your address and he will drop you off! Might cost you 100b extra!

Drive was good, but waited over an hour for the bus. However we arrived on time. A great point was that the driver whatsapp us every time. Like that.

Our Homestay was outside the drop off zone. We did not know this when booking the trip and incurred a taxi fare we had not anticipated. As it happened the bus continued past our destination after we were dropped off.

The driver was dagerously speeding almost the whole time. Sometimes 50 km faster that was allowed! I was glad we made it safely to our destination. I would rather arrive 20 minutes late than end up dead or in hospital. I know we left late becaus we had to wait for a lady that was not on time at the airport but that is not the falt of the driver.
