Accidentally bought a ticket for a Bus in the Night. People of the Bus Company were very friendly and helping me to change it for an earlier bus.

The bus was on time but the driver took some risky take over maneuvers. Also the AC was broken and it was super hot in the bus.
Valerie K.
Modern bus, but the WiFi failed, the air-conditioning broke (and it was sweltering!!) the entertainment screens were not working (looking like they'd never been turned on) and it took an hour longer than planned, so all in all, a bit rubbish.
