I didn't see this posted elsewhere on the forum.
Those who don't mind travelling at night between locations have a new option - https://www.twiliner.com/en . It sounds like a good idea to save the cost of a hotel room, but it may not be ideal for all travellers.
Here's a recent review of the service - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AE4EyvXlt0c .
I know you didn’t mean to, but your post comes across as clickbait. Can you please add some information? What type of transportation is it? Between which cities?
Thanks Ken. I watched the video. Not something I think that I would do. But interesting.

Twiliner is an international night bus initiative that combines travel through Europe with comfortable business-class seats that convert into a fully flat bed with the push of a button. This is a relatively new Swiss startup (launched in late 2025).
The buses run directly between the following major European destinations:
• Switzerland: Zurich, Bern, and Basel.
• Netherlands: Amsterdam and Rotterdam.
• Belgium: Brussels.
• Spain: Barcelona and Girona.
• Luxembourg: Luxembourg City.

I traveled on overnight buses a bit when I was in Turkey around 20 years ago, but I was younger then and able to sleep more while being mobile. I'm not sure I would do it today, but it sounds like an interesting option. Thanks for posting, Ken!
Dutch,
The post wasn't intended to be "clickbait". I assumed readers would also check the YouTube video.
Ken, great post. Not a form of transportation for everyone, but at least thanks to you i learned something. Might come in handy some day.
@Ken; I’m very careful when it comes to clicking on links on the internet. It’s something I don’t do without at least some idea of what I’m clicking on.
It would have been helpful if you could at least lifted the veil a bit on what kind of transport it was. Now the only way to find out was to click on the link…. :-)
