I was very disappointed in the comfort of the bus. The seat bottoms on multiple seats were completely lose and extremely dangerous. I was shocked and wonder if the bus would even pass roadworthy. I will be taking to social media about it as well.

I ain't giving it a star, that 1 star is very huge. The bus didn't show up, we couldn't get hold of the people. What's sad is that we stayed at the garage the whole night with a few months old baby and it was freezing. I'm so disappointed ngu APM xeim.
