Customers have noted that the drivers are skilled and ensure a smooth, safe journey. However, there were some concerns about comfort during night trips due to cold temperatures and frequent stops with bright lights and loud music. Additionally, passengers found the legroom insufficient for taller individuals.
Overall okay, we arrived earlier then expected which was nice, but the legroom/seats were not too comfortable for people who have long legs.

My experience was fine, I would like to mention the smooth and fast road, the driver drove well and safely. But there were several disadvantages, among them, it was freezing during the entire trip, the trip was a night trip (midnight to six in the morning) and since there are many stops on the way, the light was turned on many times and the music was loud, which made it impossible to sleep.

Driver was professional, but buses are not in good shape. Air conditioner broke down two hours after we left the bus station. A trip that was supposed to last 6 hours, lasted 9 hours. 7 hours of sweat and dehydration.
