I enjoyed the trip. This was the first time that took a long distance with public transport. I was it concerned about the safety.
Your drivers put the safety of the passengers first they stuck to the speed limit of the road.
They demonstrated good customer care skills. They even protected us against one passenger who attempted to board the bus while was drunk.We could see that he was going to be a nuisance on the bus, but handled him professionally
I will definitely use your bus about. Keep up with the good work.
