Stinky urine toilet. Could not breathe in that stench. Wanted to vomit my liver, kidney and intestines on that 3 and a half hour bus ride. Could not even eat my snack on the bus. I had to wear a mask due to the stinky toilet. Very friendly bus driver.

Seats are assigned so a lot of people, ourselves included, wasn't able to sit together. It was also packed so people were just walking up and down the aisle looking for seats with their luggage. They kept bumping those who were sitting, shoulders.
The conductor was very funny and entertaining.
