Tornado Bus
Pros: Fast travel and professional drivers Cons: the seats are very tight and the stops are too spaced, the trip is almost completely at night, and that ok, but maybe there should be more departures at a more comfortable time Tips: Always bring your own drinks because you will have to wait hours to get one from the moment you board the bus, wear at least a sweater because in the night with the AC it gets a little cold, make sure your handbag fits on the travel compartement because you have little room for your legs, and if you have to keep your bag in that space too it gets very uncomfortable.
