I didn't enjoy my trip. The window that was adjacent to my seat was not airtight. I was was cold the whole time. I tried communicating it with my bus driver but he just looked at me and didn't respond. Worst part is that he had a tape he was using to seal his own window. He didn't seem to care about my window, he only cared about himself...customer service was very poor.
Customers praise the intercity bus drivers for their safe and on-time arrival. They appreciate the functioning charging platforms and driver's diligence in ensuring no one is left behind. However, there are suggestions to improve travel time and refreshment stations near Queenstown by adding at least two more options.

I enjoyed because all the charging platforms were all working and after every stop the driver asks if everyone is back in the bus to avoid leaving anyone behind
According to the users, the bus service is generally comfortable and clean, with friendly staff who are open to assisting passengers. However, there have been some instances of buses arriving either late or earlier than scheduled. Despite these timing issues, many appreciate the overall quality of service provided.
Horrible, we paid for premium and we got the worst bus ever. No reclining. No space between seats. Absolutely cramped and hot. Charging ports in our chairs didn't work.
