There currently is one option to travel by night bus from Zurich (Switzerland) to Rotterdam (Netherlands), taking approximately 11 hours: Namely the 001ZA 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 buses are equipped with special seats that can be completely laid flat. This patent-pending technology works at the touch of a button and is equipped with a safety system that enables travel in any position.
Every seat in Twiliner buses is equipped with free Wi-Fi and power outlets. In the lower area of the buses there is a toilet, a changing room and a snack bar with drinks and snacks. The seats feature personal storage, a table, USB chargers and a reading light. Water, coffee and Wi-Fi are available free of charge.
Per person, Twiliner includes one suitcase (maximum 23 kg) and one carry-on item (maximum 5 kg). These are transported in the luggage compartment. At the seat itself there is only space for small bags or backpacks. Additional luggage incurs charges.
For the lying position, Twiliner has a special safety system where seat belts and sleeping bags are mandatory. The company works with bus operators whose drivers are trained for nighttime long-distance routes. Two drivers per journey alternate.
