UncomfortableNo legroomPoor climateLoud on the busI recently travelled on the CP-45 bus from Catania to Palermo and unfortunately I have to say that the experience was not entirely satisfactory. The journey took about 3 hours and 15 minutes, which is fine for the distance of about 200 km, but there were some problems.
The bus was relatively new, but the seats were uncomfortable and there was a lack of legroom. In addition, the air conditioning was not set correctly, so it was either too cold or too hot.
Another drawback was the punctuality. We departed 30 minutes late, which added to the overall journey time. The noise level on the bus was also unpleasant, as some passengers spoke loudly during the journey.
Overall, the journey was disappointing and I cannot recommend this connection without reservation.
