The website announced 7h ride from 9:30AM to 4:30PM, but in reality, ans due to multiple stops along the way, the trip actually took 8 hours and a half and might not be worth it if you have connecting routes

Staff at the bus terminal and in the bus were really nice and helpful. Bus was a little bit older but clean and enough leg room. Bus stops at some bigger bus stations where you can use the bathrooms or buy some snacks. One bottle of water and a sweet snack is included. Arrived 45’ later than scheduled due to the traffic. All in all good right for the price
