Truly excellent. Not only was the bus very comfortable, we were also handed complimentary water and snacks to start the ride. Then, at the first stop, we ate at a buffet for free. We arrived overall on time (20min delay at our pickup point due to traffic). I believe the option we had was “Executive”. We appreciated the service and recommend it warmly!

Good information about where to wait for the bus. The bus ride was super comfortable. The seats are amazing! Friendly crew, good driver. Toiletbreaks & lunchbreak (included). Only the information about my drop off was wrong... but not a big deal.

Airconditioned vehicle, with plenty of space. You get a snack and make a stop at noon for lunch (which was free for us, between Yogyakarta and Malang). We had a little delay of only 15minutes (because of traffic). For the departure, you have to check in at the agency, which is located in the street of terminal Prambanan. It wasn’t very clear ik the beginning how it would work, but you just have to check in there and they will take you across the street when the bus arrives. Very comftable way to travel.
