It was ok but the staff asked us to go down the stairs and go up again to go to the other side of the tracks (Platform 3). We were carrying heavy baggages!! Then when we reached the Platform, we found out that he allowed other passengers to cross the main platform (platform 1)! It was so frustrating since we had to run and drag our baggages up and down the stairs! We were so tired!

Departure was from a new Bus Station in Samarkand while in ticket was mentioned other - Old Bus Station that is not working currently. As tourists we were lost at this point, found out about right departure point from our taxi driver. The trip took approximately for an 1 hour longer than was expected. Also for 5 hours night road we had 0 (zero) stops. So we were on a 5 hour trip without possibility to use bathroom/toilet. Bus drivers were driving pretty dangerously, considering it was nightime and raining outside. Also on trip from Tashkent to Samarkand we've been offered with drinks and sandwiches. There wasnt same service on trip back from Samarkand to Tashkent
