Terrible. The bus was almost 2 hours late. There was no communication and their customer care number kept ringing with no response. Worst experience ever!

I had no problems and enjoyed my ride, but I suggest that bus drivers expressly state where we are at each and every stop. It is very easy for a first-time traveler to get lost and that is not our wish.
