Advantages
IconComparatively favourable
IconPlenty of space
IconFunctioning wifi
Disadvantages
IconRoute with a lot of congestion
IconObsolete bus
IconSocket did not work
The journey was not ideal. The plus point is the price, but there are a few things to criticise. Perhaps it was simply because it was an old bus, but the power socket didn't work, which was quite unfavourable for the length of the journey. There was also the traffic jam. The interior of the bus could definitely be improved here. However, the wifi worked well.
Advantages
IconVery comfortable seats
IconNice service
Disadvantages
IconVery short delay, if any
The coach journey from Tallinn to Riga was pleasant. The comfort was first class, with comfortable seats and plenty of legroom. The service and cleanliness were excellent. The journey time was short and the value for money was well worth it. Although there was a traffic jam during the journey, our coach driver was able to quickly find an alternative route. All in all, a trip worth recommending.
Advantages
IconPunctual
Iconwifi
IconComfortable seats
Disadvantages
IconClimate too cold
IconNo snacks
IconNo toilet break
I recently took the bus journey from Tallinn to Riga with "Lux Express" (bus number: 5678). The journey took about 4 hours and 30 minutes. The positive thing was the punctuality of the bus, which left at 10:00. The seats were comfortable and the wifi worked well. Unfortunately, there were also many negative aspects. The air conditioning was far too cold, which made the whole journey uncomfortable. There were also no snacks or drinks, which I found disappointing on such a long journey. There was no toilet break, which was problematic for many passengers. Overall, the experience was disappointing and I can only recommend the ride with reservations. There is definitely room for improvement.
