The bus was old, cranky.. smelled bad all trip. The AC was off ALL THE ROAD (imagine a trip of 7 hours with a bus full of different smells, and the AC of) I had to move to another sit back at the bus because the smell of oil and smoke coming from the bus was absolutely terrible! (Thank god they had seats available) I’ve been taking many buses through Europe for now (8) never had a problem but this one was the worst The trip was delayed, they don’t follow the right time of departure
