The heating was initially unbearably warm. Then after about an hour or so it was turned completely off, where we froze in -3 degrees temperature with only a thin blanket given to us.

Efficient, comfortable and on time. Only complaint is please fire the person who thought it was a good idea to have a warming alarm go off in the passenger compartment when the driver exceeds the speed limit, infuriating!

It was all very organised with the boarding. But the seats were very narrow and if the person in front declined their seat, there was almost no room for your legs. The bus was A SAUNA since the radiators by the windows were a million degrees. I felt like I was having a heat stroke. Would not choose them again.

According to customer reviews, there are mixed opinions about the comfort of the seats. Some customers found them shockingly comfortable, while others had difficulties sleeping during overnight rides. However, it's worth noting that seat number 6 should be avoided as it has a heater underneath that can make the seat extremely hot and cause overheating issues for personal belongings such as laptops and cameras. Additionally, some customers mentioned being disturbed by movies playing during their journey.
