It was fine. The bus left on time and arrived on time. It came with a toilet and aircon but the aircon wasn't that great once it got hotter later on in the day.

Accidentally bought a ticket for a Bus in the Night. People of the Bus Company were very friendly and helping me to change it for an earlier bus.

The bus was on time but the driver took some risky take over maneuvers. Also the AC was broken and it was super hot in the bus.
