Decent, 1,5 house longer than advertised. Dont think is possible to make in the given arrival time so change it.

Absolutely on time, good driver. As a 1,85m tall person, I can only suggest to buy two tickets per person, if you zravel alone. You will get the complete berth then. With two tall persons it can be quite cozy :-)

Trip to go there was awful. The road is bumpy as hell and it was raining inside the bus.

The time of arrival announced was wrong. The price on the website was much higher than at the bus station.
