Last weekend, I took the Student Agency bus to Brno. I checked their online site and booked myself a ticket two days before my trip for only 6.50 EUR or around 390 PHP. My bus was scheduled to leave at 5:00am, so I had to leave my flat as early as 4:15am. I did not have a hard time searching for the bus at the station because the big, bright yellow bus was very visible even from afar.
The bus promptly left the station at the scheduled time. I loved how everything inside the bus resembled that of airplanes--the legroom, luggage compartment, tray tables, and even the toilet. I got so amazed because most of the buses in the Philippines are not even half as attractive and comfortable as this!
Minutes after our departure, the hostess started to give out earphones for those who want to watch a movie. There were about 5 to 6 screens in the bus so it was not difficult for most passengers to look at the screen, even for those who were seated at the back. Later on, the hostess began to give out newspapers and magazines as well. I was impressed that there were quite a lot of options--from fashion to gadget magazines. Aside from all that I have mentioned, they also served hot drinks to passengers. We had four choices: Capuccino, Coffee, Hot Chocolate or Tea. There were some cold drinks, chocolates and croissants on board as well, but they were no longer for free. Personally, the service that I liked the most from the Student Agency bus was the free WI-FI. Yes you heard it right, FREE WI-FI inside the bus! During the trip, I was able to use Skype and talk to my parents online.
