Bus was comfortable, but there was no lighting so I couldn't read and couldn't see what I was doing when I went to the WC!

It was a comfortable bus, was pretty much on time, but it randomly stopped on the highway, actually the bus U-turned to get to the north bound route 25km away from the main terminal. Only to allow people to get off and buy food. Not sure why I had to wait 15min for others to get fast food when we were close to the terminal. That was not cool!
