On the top right of the bus online ticket application it shows that the bus had a toilet,but in my bus we did not have any and I have a bladder problem. It was the longest trip and I could not even inform my driver because he was not even close to being friendly. The loud music he played the whole trip was nerve wrecking. Will rather stick to Intercity until my next bad experience
