Night bus from Medan to Bukit Lawang?

I go this route every year (except this one) and have never heard of this route. It would be very dangerous at night given the condition of the road. The day bus is bad enough. It would not be long enough to warrant sleepers even if it existed.

(You are not getting mixed up with Bikittinggi, are you?)

Sorry my mistake, it is Bikittiniggi. thanks for you reply.

@Kalmay Bus ALS usually leaves Medan about 4-5pm. It goes via Parapat-Balige-Padangsidimpuan. I think Sampagul & PMTOH also does this route. ANS, Putra Pelangi, Anugrah & Kurnia also goes to Bukittinggi but via Rantauprapat (Not to be confused with Parapat)-Duri-Pekanbaru-Payakumbuh.
Most Executive buses leave in the late afternoon-evening. You need to check again since this info is from late 2016 from an Indonesian backpacker based in Padang. It may be out of date now.
