ALSA BUS - MADRID TO SAN SEBASTIAN
 
Other than time to travel (which in many cases is 30 minutes difference), and lower fares for the Normal, what is the difference between the Normal and Supra buses in terms of comfort ??

Saving 30 euros for 30 minutes is worth it unless quality of seating on bus is markedly different.

Thanks for input.

Usually on the supra or special express buses ( from another company Avanzabus) instead of rows of 2/aisle/two seats.. they are 1/aisle/2 seats.

Solo travelers then sit alone.

More leg room, free newspaper and on other special busses I have ridden.. a movie, headsets also for music,

I have not ridden the supra from Alsa.. but 30E IS A LOT of difference, I agree.

I have traveled the Alsa Supra and also the Normal. I would take Supra over normal anytime that its available, specially if I was traveling by myself (that way I could pick one of the "single" seats)

Sue, there was a toilet in the one I was in.

Forgot to say that Lin's description of 2 and 1 seat's configuration is correct, therefore seats wider and more comfy.

plus spaced out more and they recline like first class airplane seats.. at least on avanzabus they were pretty good.

(whisper).. toilets
