Arrived on time, easy to find, staff were a bit rude and took a 40-min lunch instead of 20 mins as they said, so we were all waiting for them without AC.

The trip was shorter than planned, the stop right around lunch was perfect, the seat was comfortable and I had plenty of room

Inspite of booking the bus early I just got last seat which didn't have push back facilitiy. And in fact I arrived an hour and half early to select seats as mentioned in the ticket. Still, bus authorities allotted the seats themselves. I was sleepless the whole night. And disappointed
