Disadvantages

IconSlowly
IconNot very comfortable
The bus journey was unfortunately not very comfortable due to the full occupancy, as it was cramped and stuffy despite the air conditioning. Otherwise, the bus was clean and the journey was pleasant and punctual. There were power sockets for charging and wifi, which also worked. It was a bit noisy on the bus due to the full occupancy, so you couldn't really relax or sleep. Tickets were purchased online via the platform and there were no problems. There was no catering on the bus, but you could eat your own food. The price-performance ratio was fine in this case.
