The bus was 3.5 hours late and the toilets were grubby and without hand soap. The seats themselves were very comfortable though and the crew very kind.

The bus left more than half an hour late even though we only with a handful of passengers. A short time later it stopped on the side of the road to fix something underneath the bus with makeshift items. We arrived 3 hours late.
