We booked the Laman because they said the have wifi and we really needed to be able to connect to some meetings. Wifi did not work, we asked the workers, they said they will check it but never did and never gave us feedback about it.

Overall experience was ok. Just find the drivers were rather rude.

The Saoviet travel bus was pretty nice and clean. The driver and the others helping facilitate the ride not so much. Grumpy and rude. Except for the ticket lady, she was nice. Would recommend a different bus company.

Our trip was fantastic! Even if we got late because of the delay of the airplane, the driver was waiting for us. Very comfortable trip, the bus was clean, great experience!

If you’re looking for an excuse to upgrade your sleeper, this is is. The trip gets an overall 2 stars because it was clean and it left and arrived on time. But that’s sadly where the good times ended for us. Our seats had been changed and that wasn’t communicated well enough to the guys onboarding us, so we walked from section to section hoping for help. By the times we got to our bed we were questioned a few times, but thankfully not kicked off. We had someone either leave or arrive at every stop which was very disruptive. My least favourite was the drunk who literally stumbled in and collapsed on his bed. Then the door wouldn’t stay closed, so we unfortunately had it open all night. Really wishing I’d just paid the extra for a private 2 bed room to avoid all the disruptions.

No issues with this bus, very clean and on time to leave.

Despite the bus arrived with almost one hour late, everything was great. We have bottles of water, comfortable sleeper. I recommend.
