Advantages
ModernComfortable seatsFree wifiDisadvantages
Little legroomOld climateOnly a short breakI recently made the bus journey from Vilnius to Tallinn with "Ecolines" bus T238. The journey took about 7 hours, which was quite exhausting for a long journey.
The bus was modern and the seats comfortable, but the legroom was a bit limited, which can be uncomfortable on longer journeys. The air conditioning was well set, but there was no way to adjust it yourself.
One plus point was the free wifi, which worked throughout the journey. Unfortunately, there were no snacks or drinks on board, which I found disappointing, especially on such a long journey.
The scenery was beautiful, but there was only one short break, which wasn't enough to really relax. Overall the ride was fine, but there is definitely room for improvement.
