Customers have noted that the bus was spacious, clean, and perfectly on time. They also appreciated the very comfortable seats. However, some mentioned that the air conditioning was too cold during their journey.
Given it was an overnight bus, we paid for leito (bed) but got normal seats instead, all the way in the back right next to AC unit blowing at max. Made it very difficult to sleep. Everything else was fine, beds looked very comfortable, too bad we didn't get one..
