I needed to change the date of my ticket and travel two days earlier. This was easily arranged at the bus terminal. All logistics are fine and smooth. Day bus is less crowded so that helps.

Decent coach, but it took over an hour for the air conditioning to be fully effective. On time and kept to schedule.
