The bus stopped for two hours becaude of mekanical trouble. The bus was to small betwen seats and on toilette. The driver did’t speak english and did’t inform us enough.
Egil J.
Good trip overall but checking in/entering the bus is not organized well. People are already gathered around the bus even before the driver has arrived. Checking tickets happens then in a chaotic/non-organized manner.
