Sleeper Bus to Europe: Twiliner's Sustainable Luxury Option
As I settled into my plush seat on the Twiliner bus, its unique design and advanced safety features became apparent. With the seats converted into comfortable beds, this 12-hour journey from Amsterdam to Zurich felt more like a luxury flight than a traditional bus ride.
For Twiliner, the European startup behind this innovative service, comfort and sustainability are key drivers. By offering an alternative to flights, the company aims to reduce carbon emissions and provide travelers with a unique experience. "Flying is one of the main drivers of climate change," Luca Bortolani, Twiliner's co-founder and CEO, explained. "We wanted to design an alternative that people would actually want to use."
The bus's interior is sleek and modern, with spacious seats that convert into beds, offering ample legroom and a comfortable sleeping surface. The addition of USB ports and the option to bring in personal devices make for a convenient travel experience.
Safety regulations were taken seriously during design, as well as maintaining hygiene. To accommodate passengers' safety needs, their legs can be placed in mesh bags secured by clip-style buckles before settling into bed.
Twiliner's commitment to sustainability is evident throughout its operations, from the hydrotreated vegetable oil fuel used by most buses to the environmentally-friendly materials used for upholstery and interior design.
As I lay back on my bed and dozed off around 10pm, my sleep was undisturbed until the sun rose, signaling the arrival of Zurich. When asked about his experience with Twiliner, Adrien mentioned he slept soundly through much of the journey, finding it a welcome alternative to traditional overnight bus services.
For now, three routes in operation, and more to come by 2028, these new sleeper buses represent a game-changing shift for European travelers seeking comfortable journeys that don't weigh on their wallets or the environment.

but this Twiliner bus is like, the answer to all our problems! 
i mean, a 12 hour ride to europe w/ a comfy bed & usb ports? 
that sounds like heaven! 
and btw, i love how they're focused on sustainability - using hydrotreated veggie oil fuel & eco-friendly materials 
. it's about time we got some green buses in europe lol 
. can't wait to try this out for myself ASAP! 
i mean who needs planes when you can travel by bus in style 
? twiliner's idea of turning buses into luxury sleepers is genius! and it's not just about being comfy, they're actually trying to reduce carbon emissions too which is amazing 
. and the fact that they're using hydrotreated veggie oil fuel is a nice touch 
... I mean, sure it's comfy and all, but are we really sacrificing too much by giving up our personal space to snooze? And what about when you need to get some work done or scroll through your phone during the ride? The lack of real power outlets is kinda a bummer 
. Plus, have you seen the price tag for this luxury bus service? It's like they're trying to guilt trip us into saving the planet 
... "Flying is bad for the environment" sure, but have you tried flying economy lately? 
this is gonna be huge for travelers who wanna ditch the airlines and still get a comfy ride across europe 
i think it's great that twiliner prioritized comfort and sustainability - it's not just about reducing carbon emissions, but also about providing a better experience for people who want to travel without breaking the bank 
. and those mesh bags they have to secure legs during sleep? genius 
Flying is super bad for the planet and I'm all about reducing carbon emissions 
! The fact that they're using hydrotreated veggie oil fuel and eco-friendly materials is super cool 
. And the safety features? Top-notch 
. I'd totally take this over a traditional bus ride or flight any day

plus they're reducing carbon emissions which is just amazing 
adrien must've been a total zzz master on that journey, haha 
can't wait for more routes to come online in 2028 
. They're really onto something here. I mean, flights are a major contributor to climate change, so it's awesome that Twiliner is offering an alternative that's actually desirable. And let's not forget about the whole 'hygiene' thing - mesh bags for your legs? Genius! 
. What I really appreciated was the attention to safety & hygiene - those mesh bags were genius 
. Now Twiliner's got these comfy beds and USB ports? That's wild!
