Advantages
Cheap ticketPunctual journeyDisadvantages
Weak internetI am very pleased with my bus journey to Berlin.
The bus left on time and it was a smooth journey with punctual arrival. The bus was well filled and as I had reserved my seat including the next seat when I booked my ticket, I was able to travel relaxed with enough space.
The bus was clean and well ventilated. There were no noisy passengers or other unpleasant disturbances. A pleasant journey that can be recommended.
Those who want fast internet on the bus will unfortunately be disappointed here. The internet was very slow, but that's not a problem for me and it was still a great journey.
