At 1am, the driver admitted that he was going to fall asleep and had to play horrible loud music to stay awake - when I asked where the 2nd driver was, he said they don't get a second driver - and when I phoned the office, they said they were short staffed and don't send 2 drivers on long distance trips
The trip started at 8pm, and I was to reach my destination at 7am, so there was still 6 hours of travelling from him admitting this until I was were I needed to be

Very good service and helpfulness of both the ticket clerk and buspersonel. Unfortunately There was no light in the toilet and the watersensors for flushing and taps was out of order.
