The seats were comfy and the bus was clean. What I did not enjoy was the extremely loud safety announcement that was played once every 5 minutes for the first 45 minutes of the trip.

The temperature was crazy, they put full heater on for the first hour and then the AC. I hoped to sleep until arrival (at 8) but they woke us up at 6 and half hour later we were arrived. I had to wait 2 hours at the station for the next bus I had booked.
