The bus left right on time, and the bus wasn't too crowded for me to enjoy the 3-hours journey. Unfortunately, the bus was a bit too warm. I believe one of the passengers requested to turn the AC on more, but I don't think it worked well.

The coach station is easy to find as well as easy to reach from the city center by foot. The staff is really friendly. Unfortunately there is no shop nearby, just a few automats at the station. We also had a break down On the speed way and therfore were delayed for 40 minutes. Of course people got nervous, too less communication from the crew to the passengers and we almost missed our flight.
