My trip was over 4 hrs and I needed internet access. The WiFi would not work, and driver was indifferent when I asked why wifi would not work. Lux Express 2 days earlier was much better.

All was well - friendly driver & staff, Comfortable seats, nice price… BUT I did not feel safe at all the many times when the driver passed other cars & vehicles. It seemed that he had only a 1 meter margin. I was very surprised there were no accidents…
Customers have mentioned some confusion regarding the self-service drinks policy, specifically whether coffee and water bottles were complimentary. It was unclear if this information was announced in English by the staff.
