What I didn't like was the fact that the busses were more than an hour late. I liked that once the bus arrived we did not encounter any problems on the way.

Users have shared mixed experiences with this bus service. Many appreciated the comfortable seats and timely arrivals, highlighting efficient driving as a positive aspect. However, there were concerns about unpleasant odors on board and disruptive behavior from intoxicated passengers affecting travel enjoyment for some users.
My experience was quite bitter sweet . The driver was driving very well. Seats are comfortable but the only thing that kept me from enjoying my travel were the men that were intoxicated. They were drinking alcohol on the bus speaking loudly and being aggressive at times. They really ruined the trip for me.
