Advantages

Price

Service

Disadvantages

Unpunctuality

The journey went almost without a hitch. The bus was only delayed by a few minutes at the beginning. The price for the journey was reasonable. The staff were friendly and helped us load our bags straight away. The quality of the seats on the bus is not high, but it is okay. For taller people, however, it could be very cramped on the bus as there isn't really much space between the seats.
