Nice bus, easy old and storage, convenient toilet. We were assigned seats 24C/D - the worst bus seats ever. The row in front of us was 25cm higher up so we were unable to see anything but the footrest that was at the level of our knees.

the car was on time, but we went to Sežana to pick up one passenger who loaded 2 folded carpets, several large boxes, the large package which tried to load didn't fit at the end.And the app demanded that we can carry just one bag.
