Everything was clean and calm. Confortable to travel long distances but the schedule wasnt on time.

We were supposed to arrive at 7pm and eventually arrived at 1am. Schedule and travel time were false. Our initial bus was delayed for obscure reasons (maintenance on the road). Information was poor. Staff was generally unhelpful. We also had to change from a bus to another during our trip. Absolutely don't recommend.
