    Yeah, those have been pretty common with similar comfort in Latin America since decades. I always wondered why they never made the jump accross the pond.

    But traveling by bus kinda sucks. I rather take a sleeper train or a high speed one than a bumpy slow bus (or car).

        Not really, as traveling by bus is quite popular in Europe as well. I just personally try to avoid it when there are better options.

    I recall China had comfortable sleeper buses back in the 1990s - when they had more gaps in their railway network. Tatami -style mats were enough, what’s important is to lie flat. It can help sleep to feel a little movement, knowing you’re going somewhere. But to succeed in europe they should integrate better with railway stations.
