usa i used to do dc to new york a lot by bus. did also dc to pittsburgh in... 12! hahaha. it was cool and entertaining. and my first time in paris i got so disoriented i paid for a tour bus just to get a general idea. it wasn’t too annoying and i got a nice view.
i figured a couple of hours in an autobahn wouldn’t any kind of be torture, but ymmv...
i read somewhere there were new fast routes developed in recent times. i’d rather do bus than nothing at all...

Just google “bus plunge” for another good reason not to travel by bus in poorer countries
