The seats are hard and there’s not enough room in each seat. Very uncomfortable for an overnight bus

The seats are not comfortable for a night bus..it was very difficult to sleep.Also as a suggestion water bottles must be provided to each individual during the journey...I think that would be something that the passengers would appreciate.
