Excellent except for the return the bus was a bit smaller so not enough space for the legs compared to the other one

Le trajet s'est passé sans encombre. Station facile à trouver et trajet tout à fait fluide. Ma seule remarque est sur l'absence d'information quant à un arrêt ou non lors du trajet. J'ai effectué la liaosn Paris Bercy jusque Bruxelles midi de 12h à 15h35. Je pensais avoir un arrêt sur le chemin comme à l'aller ce qui n'a pas été le cas. Rien de très problématique, mais ça serait utile de le savoir. J'aurais prévu un repas de midi si j'avais su qu'il n'y aurait pas d'arrêt.

I didn't it took 2 hours longer than it was supposed to. My seat was broken and the driver stopped twice without telling anyone why and disappeared for 10-15min
