Advantages
IconIt is a simple booking
IconThe fare is reasonable
IconThe journey went according to plan
Disadvantages
IconWeak internet connection while driving
I booked the bus online and received the ticket digitally by email, I did not have to print the ticket. It was all a very easy booking. The prices are much cheaper compared to a train journey, so I like to travel by bus and have always been satisfied so far. The bus started according to the timetable and was not late. The journey time also passed quickly. Unfortunately, the internet connection on the bus was not always sufficient during the journey. I don't think it's too bad, though, because the price-performance ratio is first-class. I have no hesitation in recommending the bus trip.
