Great trip, young driver was really professional and a amazing driver! Whole operation was very professional and everything ran on time. 10/10

The vehicle was uncomfortable, seats too close to each other, the air conditionning was not working properly and I felt unsafe for almost all the trip. The driver used the horn continously during all the trip to over take any type of vehicle. Despite these problems, the bus arrived on time

The driver answered telephone cals several times while driving. He almost crashed another car while checking on his mobile.

We had a bus with a kind of beds. They were quite comfortable. We arrived in time. Everything was clean. If travelling alone book a place in the single row, not on the side with two seats/beds next to each other as there is not much space between the seats.

It arrives 90 minute before than it says, very inconvenient for the night trips

Even though we departed late, we arrived ahead of time. The driver went fast but never felt dangourous. The new highway made for a smooth ride even though it's not fully finished by the time we took the trip. Stopped 30min for lunch at a roadhouse.

bus was comfortable but you have to share a small compartment bed with someone which would not be good if you didn’t know them. It arrived late yet still arrived 3.5 hours before it was supposed to, this meant we arrived in phnom penh at 4am instead of 7:30, with no accomodation booked and no plan. This felt unsafe
