The Bus was punctual and reliable. I would have appreciated a few more time on the stops to buy food and use the washrooms. The bathroom in the buss is more suited for emergencies

Delayed schedule. Dirty window so we couldn't enjoy the scenery. Staff threw my water bottle away when there's still water in it.

I enjoyed the punctual service , the friendly drivers and the comfortable bus. I did not enjoy having to by 2 tickets as the first one did not arrive in my inbox or spam. So to make sure I had a ticket I bought a second one that did arrive in my inbox. When the driver picked me up he said I had 2 tickets
