It was good once we got on the bus, however at the station we were told we didn't need a printed ticket even though when we bought the ticket we were told we needed to get it printed which caused a bit of confusion.

Comfy bus, quick boarding process, kind staff. But, the journey only takes 4.5 hours and it was extended to 7 hours due to 3-4x stops. Two were bathroom breaks (though one of those lasted 30 minutes+. people were hanging out with snacks etc at the service station), one was unexplained, and during another the driver was having a sit down meal and we were there for an hour. It was a bit frustrating that the journey was so long for seemingly no reason. Breaks are good but I thought that one break in 4.5 hours would’ve sufficed. 2.5 hours were spent at random stops.

Pleasant bus terminals, friendly driver, no toilet on the bus causing multiple unplanned toilet breaks causing us to be 1.5h late
