There currently is one option to travel by night bus from Zurich (Switzerland) to Brussels (Belgium), taking approximately 9 hours: Namely the 001ZA operated by Twiliner.
The company Twiliner offers a new night travel experience with buses whose seats can be fully reclined. The connections run from city center to city center without detours via airports. The concept is aimed at travelers looking for an alternative to air and rail travel.
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.
All seats are equipped with Wi-Fi and power outlets. The buses have a toilet, a changing room and a snack bar with drinks and snacks. Each seat includes storage, a folding table, USB charging ports and reading light. Water, coffee and internet are included in the service.
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.
Twiliner has developed a restraint system for the lying position that was tested according to company information. Passengers must wear seat belts throughout the journey and use a sleeping bag when lying down. The company works with various bus companies whose drivers are trained for night driving. Two drivers are deployed per journey who alternate regularly.
