Arrived on time, easy to find, staff were a bit rude and took a 40-min lunch instead of 20 mins as they said, so we were all waiting for them without AC.

Inspite of booking the bus early I just got last seat which didn't have push back facilitiy. And in fact I arrived an hour and half early to select seats as mentioned in the ticket. Still, bus authorities allotted the seats themselves. I was sleepless the whole night. And disappointed
