The bus was very comfortable, and I had a better experience compared to Alsa. However, while booking with interbus, I initially received a message stating that all seats were booked. But when I manually selected a seat, I was able to proceed with the booking and i payed more :(

Everything was great except there was only one stop in six hours and we couldn't buy anything. We should at least be able to obtain water for a trip that long or Internus should provide water. I think it was just because of Coronavirus that the place we stopped at was closed but still. Someone should have known that and told us. We could have prepared better for the trip.
