Even though we bought a ticket for a bus equipped with toilet, AC outlets and A/C, it was a bus from the nineties without anything I mentioned. In addition it was should be a direct bus but it stopped in many places every almost two hours. Very disappointing, especially we paid a very high price (for nothing).
