I settle into the plush seat, the quilted blanket wrapped snugly around me and a pillow cradling my head. But before I can drift off, I'm instructed to clip on a mesh bag for my lower legs – it's essential safety gear, with the bus hurtling along at 50mph. It's an unusual bedtime routine, but Twiliner's luxury sleeper bus has all the trappings of a high-end hotel.
This innovative service is not just about comfort; it's also designed to be eco-friendly. The company's co-founder and CEO, Luca Bortolani, aims to provide an alternative to flying, which he believes is one of the main drivers of climate change. With its fleet of futuristic buses, Twiliner claims that passengers can enjoy a sustainable travel experience – even when running on traditional diesel.
The bus itself is impressive, with spacious seats and amenities like free earplugs, wifi, and snacks. There's also a toilet and changing room for guests to use before boarding. The interior design is sleek and modern, with a dash of purple that adds a touch of whimsy.
As I settle in for the long haul, I'm struck by how peaceful it feels – the chatter dies down quickly, thanks to Twiliner's strict no-children-under-five policy and noise regulations. Before I know it, I'm fast asleep, lulled into slumber by the gentle hum of the engine.
The next morning, as we roll into Zurich on a frosty weekday morning, the city is transformed – silver and gold hues illuminate the rooftops as the sun rises. It's a magical feeling to be woken up in a new country, with the promise of a full day ahead.
As it turns out, Twiliner's service isn't just about speed or price; it's about offering an experience that's hard to find elsewhere – comfort, sustainability, and a sense of adventure. With its fleet growing to 25 routes by 2028, this luxury sleeper bus is set to revolutionize the way we travel in Europe.
