The company is bad and behaves inappropriately from some of the employees ... and they import and export goods via the bus, so there will be a delay at the border

Bus departed at 4.30pm instead of 4pm as stated on the ticket. Bus condition is good with large comfortable seats. Staff was friendly although no English was spoken. The only problem was that the driver/conductor was chain smoking throughout the journey, and it can be smelled in the entire bus (I changed seat to further back and could still smell it). This is very irritating especially for non-smokers because the smell is so strong it makes your clothes and hair smell like an ashtray after the journey.
