There currently is one option to travel by night bus from Rotterdam (Netherlands) to Zurich (Switzerland), taking approximately 11 hours: Namely the 002AZ operated by Twiliner.
Twiliner operates night buses with innovative, fully reclining seats for overnight travel. The buses run between European cities and allow passengers to sleep during the journey. The service positions itself as an environmentally friendly alternative to other means of transport.
Twiliner uses seats that can be completely transformed into beds at the touch of a button. The patented design offers comfort for working, relaxing or sleeping. An integrated safety system is effective in all seating positions.
The buses offer free Wi-Fi and power outlets at every seat. In the lower deck there is a toilet, changing room and snack bar with various drinks and snacks. Each seat has its own storage, a work table, USB ports and reading light. Water, coffee and internet are provided at no extra cost.
At Twiliner, one large suitcase up to 23 kg and one carry-on item up to 5 kg are included in the ticket price. These are stored in the luggage compartment. At the seat there is only space for small personal items. Additional luggage pieces can be booked for a fee.
The company has developed a safety system for the sleeping position where seat belts and sleeping bags are mandatory. Twiliner cooperates with bus companies whose drivers are certified and trained for night routes. Two drivers are deployed on each journey who alternate.
