It was a good journey by bus from Leipzig to Dresden. The ticket was affordable and the journey was fine. No delays on departure, just a slight delay on arrival due to slightly slow traffic on entering Dresden. But otherwise everything was fine and the bus driver did a great job. He was also very friendly and kept the bus pleasantly ventilated and tempered. A pleasant journey.
