It was worse, I've never had such a bad trip in my life. Bus was supposed to pick me at 21h45 but its was nowhere to be found. At 22h40 I've made a call to grayhound, a guy told me that the bus had a breakdown and it gonna reach my pick up point at 5h00am. That guy over the phone was so rude. I ended up paying for intercape, I've paid twice for 1 trip.
