Unfortunately there were no toilets on the bus despite advertising it as such. The bus also did not stop foe a rocket break.

They cancelled the bus, and didn't inform me. They put me on another bus from Etap bus company, which arrived 25 minutes late - instead of 22:50h it was 23:15, and I barely caught my next bus at 23:30h at another bus station. The driver was very friendly and did his best, but his schedule was too tight.

Everything was ok, just the driver can be little bit more polite! He looks stressed and rude without smile!
