Overnight bus time can look shorter because it’s “non-stop” and runs at night. Private car shows longer since it includes proper breaks and door-to-door travel. Vie Travel AI can help you compare realistic durations and costs for each option.
Our private car took closer to 7.5 hours but we got to stop whenever we wanted to. I have taken to bringing a large empty water bottle with me on sleeper buses for when they won’t stop and you really need them to. Sorry ladies, can’t help you with ideas there.
We took the overnight train. Almost 8 hours.
