It was due to arrive at 12.30, instead it was 3.30am
Very bad, the bus was 4.5 hours late!
Quick journey, seats were comfortable but no seatbelts available on some seats which I would say is fairly important given the speed at which these drivers drive & conditions of the road. Departed on time & arrived early. Swift booking process and at the terminal it was pretty straight forward too.

We arrived at the bus terminal at 6:30 in the morning and they told us the bus was not going that day, even though we had bought a ticket for that time and day. The info online doesn't meet the info that gave us. We ended up with another company and it took us 12 hours instead of 8 hours by bus
Not leaving on time. Conductor very unhelpful. Arrived 2 hours late with no reason stated. Stopped on the road multiple times without explanation or estimates
