The customer opinion was acquired via Cimenio. Cimenio incentivises its users for giving an honest opinion and proving the booking with a photo of the travel ticket.
Pros
IconGood value
Cons
IconPunctuality
There was electricity, wifi, clean toilets, nice staff and a good price. Unfortunately, the only problem was punctuality. The bus arrived 90 minutes late. We did get a refund, but I would have preferred a punctual bus. What could be improved in terms of comfort would be a wider range of digital media on board. The competition is much better positioned here.
